BiographyBiography: Painter of landscapes. He was son and pupil of the painter Léon Heil I and brother of Léon II. He was a follower of Jacques d’Arthois. He became a master in the Brussels guild in 1627. He mainly painted three different types of landscapes, with fires, with ruins and with winter effects. His winter landscapes are obviously influenced by the Dutch painter Salomon van Ruysdael. Van Heil preferred to paint leafless trees in contre-jour so that the branches resemble lace.
