Oline translated:  ...........His banking career
In 1923, Francis Delbeke begin a career in finance with Banque commerciale de Belgique continuer Bank Hauptmann.
Following the liquidation of the Banque commerciale de Belgique, in 1926 he took over from his father as director of the Belgian Fund Mortgage. It is also found as a director of many other financial companies.
But, writes Valerie Montens, "Businessman as his father or his brother Charles, the true passion of Francis Delbeke is really art."
The art lover and patron [edit]
Amateur painter, he had built a large private collection.
He was friends with the Futurist painter of German origin Antwerp Jules Schmalzigaug who painted a portrait of Francis Delbeke Cubist portrait which is now well known to visitors to the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels.
He encouraged the pictorial life by becoming a member of Antwerp Management Board of the Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp and the Museum Mayer van den Bergh.
