William Degouve de Nuncques lived in the Balearic Islands from 1900 to 1902. Between 1915 and 1919, he lived in the Netherlands, in Blaricum. In 1910, he experienced a religious crisis. Towards the end of his life, he mainly painted snowy landscapes. He married a second time following the death of his first wife.
