Description: | Jacques d'Arthois often painted landscapes inspired by the scenery of the Forêt de Soignes, near Brussels, where he had a house. At the beginning of his career, d'Arthois's compositions were strongly influenced by Lodewijk de Vadder. The cluster of trees dominating the foreground and the path receding in an oblique line towards the background are characteristic of his early works. The strong colour contrast and the bold brushstrokes became more nuanced and subtle in his later works. The figures of men at work and travellers were probably added by one of d'Arthois's collaborators, such as David Teniers II. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Arthois, Jacques d` (Flemish painter, 1613-1686) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8959... | Go to resource |
