Marten Rijckaert
Marten Rijckaert was a Flemish Baroque painter, famous for his landscapes in the Italian manner.
Marten Rijckaert was a pupil of Tobias Verhacht. He was registered as a master at the Antwerp Guild of St Luke's in 1607. Reikart was a close friend of Antonis van Dyck.
His work is characterised by rocky forest landscapes, often with waterfalls, ruins and architecture. These Italian landscapes are close to the works of Flemish painter Paul Brill, and the panoramic concept of his compositions owes a debt to the works of Jan Brueghel the Elder.
