Jean (Jan) Michael Ruyten

Jan Michiel Ruyten or Jan Ruyten was a Belgian Romantic painter, draughtsman and engraver. He was influenced by Dutch Romantic painting. Jan Michiel Ruyten painted genre scenes, landscapes with figures, winter landscapes, urban landscapes, waterscapes, seascapes, historical subjects, scenes with figures and architectural views. While initially he painted mainly cityscapes, during his residence in The Netherlands he was inspired by the work of Andreas Schelfhout and Wijnand Nuijen to start paintings river views, ports and ice scenes. Despite the Dutch influence on these works, he was able to maintain his originality. After 1870 he returned to painting city scenes and markets. Jan Michiel Ruyten was of the same generation as the prominent Belgian history painter Henri Leys and was to some extent influenced by that artist. Ruyten became in 1840 a member of the Antwerp Academy. He worked in oils as well as in watercolors.
