His laudatory yet realistic portrayals of the laborers and emigrant poor on the wharves and piers reflect his socially aware empathy and insight. At the start of his career, he used his wife Augustine Pautre as his primary model and first muse, and she predominates his early work. Tragically Augustine succumbed to tuberculosis after only 3 years of marriage, but Van Mieghem’s charged depictions of her during her illness have been compared with similar efforts by Ferdinand Hodler and Rembrandt. Van Mieghem completed De bloem van de voorstad (translation, Flower of the City) in 1901. This issue of Immunohematology includes an update of the Augustine blood group system.

Recent whole exome sequencing that have been added to the Augustine system (International Society of Blood Transfusion system 36), bringing the number of revealed homozygosity for a missense mutation in SLC29A1 antigens in the system to four.
