BiographyBiography: Matthi js schoevaerdts worked as a landscape painter and engraver. He was the brother of the painter Frans Schoevaerdts and active in Brussels. In 1682 he became the pupil of Adam Frans Boudewijns and in 1690 a member of the Guild of St. Luke in Brussels. The influences of Paul Bril and Jan Brueghel I can be seen in his works. His meticulous and detailed landscapes have often been confused with the works of Pieter Bout and Adriaen Fransz. Boudewijns. He sometimes collaborated with the latter and with other colleagues, among them Jacques d’Arthois in whose landscapes he painted the figures.
