Floris Arntzenius (Surabaya 1864-1925 The Hague)

Signed: 'F. Arntzenius' (lower right) | oil on canvas

Pieter Florentius Nicolaas Jacobus Arntzenius (9 June 1864 – 16 February 1925) was a Dutch painter, water-colourist, illustrator and printmaker. He is considered a representative of the younger generation of the Hague School.

In 1882 he became a student of Frederik Nachtweh, under Nachtweh's supervision he gained admission to the Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten. During his time at the Rijksacademie, from 1883 to 1888, his teachers included August Allebé and Barend Wijnveld, and amongst his fellow students were Isaac Israëls, George Breitner, Willem Witsen and Jan Veth. After his studies in Amsterdam he spent another two years at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, studying under Charles Verlat.

Arntzenius was an accomplished artist. During his first years in The Hague, he painted landscapes in the typical Hague School style. Arntzenius later switched to mainly painting cityscapes and street scenes, just like Israëls and Breitner made in Amsterdam. Arntzenius' cityscapes were painted mainly in misty or rainy weather, he made use of these weather conditions to have his subjects be reflected on the wet asphalt.

This painting is a great example of his skills and shows he was a true master of the The Hague city views.
Over kunstenaar
Floris Arntzenius volgde zijn opleiding aan de Rijksacademie in Amsterdam, samen met Isaac Israels, Willem Witsen en G.H. Breitner, wiens impressionistische stijl van schilderen hij enorm bewonderde. Na een verdere studie aan de kunstacademie in Antwerpen legde de schilder zich toe op het maken van landschappen en stadsgezichten.
Echt succes had hij met zijn werk pas toen hij naar Den Haag verhuisde en begon met het schilderen van spontane impressies van het bruisende leven in de stad, bij voorkeur in mistige of regenachtige omstandigheden. Hij schilderde ook landschappen, stranden met figuren en portretten.
