Agapit Pierre Jean Joseph Stevens was a Belgian painter of figures and genre scenes, including several Orientalist pictures of odalisques, dancers and harem musicians.
Agapit Stevens was apparently born under the name Agapit Pierre Jean Joseph Van Gotsenhoven in Brussels on 21 October 1848. His brother was the painter René Stevens.
He was a member of the L'Essor artists' association, but there is no record of his artistic training. At some point he changed his name to Agapit Pierre Jean Joseph Stevens, and that name appears on his death certificate.
He died in Watermael-Boitsfort, Brussels in 1917 or 1924.
