A website dedicated to the work of the Brussels landscape painter Lucas Achtschellink (1629-1699) has been launched. The artist is a follower and presumed pupil of Lodewijk de Vadder (1605-1655), about whom a website by the same author appeared in 2020. Both artists belonged to the so-called School of Painters of the Sonian Forest, which also included Jacques D’Arthois, Ignatius van der Stock and François Coppens, among others.
