Jacques dArthois exclusively worked on landscape paintings, which he partly animated with religious and mythological figures. Mainly his landscapes were decorated with profane figures. As a landscape painter dArthois had an important position among Brussels artists. Stylistically there is an evident influence of his famous predecessor Denis van Alsloot, also in the choice of landscape motifs - preferably from the forest of Soignies, south of Brussels - the works of both artists are connected.
Winter landscapes are only occasionally found in the oeuvre of Jacques dArthois and are therefore a rarity for collectors.
Provenance: according to the information given by the previous owners it was a gift from Consul Otto Bernheimer (1877-1960), Munich, to the family. - Private owner, South Germany.
