Description

Jan Michiel Ruyten (1813-1881) is one of the 19th-century Belgian masters who were strongly influenced by the Dutch romantic painters. Born and trained in Antwerp, the painter left for our country around 1840, probably for The Hague, where he lived until 1870. There he became acquainted with the work of Andreas Schelfhout and his pupil Wijnand Nuyen, which had a great influence on his choice of subject.

Until then Ruyten had mainly painted cityscapes, in the Netherlands he added river views, harbours and ice views to his repertoire. Although in this latter genre Schelfhout is clearly his inspiration, his work deviates in a very original and un-Dutch way from that of his great example. After 1870 he returned to painting city corners and markets.
