De Mont studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent and later in Paris, where he was influenced by the works of the Impressionists and Symbolists. His career flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which he gained recognition for his unique style that blended realism with dreamlike elements.
