Louis Artan Biography

(b The Hague, 20 April 1837; d Nieuport, 23 May 1890). Dutch painter. He began his painting career at the age of 20 in Spa, where he took lessons from the Romantic landscape painters E. Delvaux (1806–62) and H. Marcette (1824–90). From 1858 he went every winter to Paris, where he was overwhelmed by the masterpieces in the Louvre. He worked in the Fontainebleau area and along the Seine, and became friendly with Courbet and Corot. In 1868, with his friend Louis Dubois, he founded the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts to defend free artistic expression. During this period he painted landscapes, views of the suburbs and some figurative works, with great subtlety of colour.
