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.
Sobre artista
Floris Arntzenius treinou em Rijksacademie, Amsterdã, junto com Isaac Israels, Willem Witsen e G.H. Breitner, cujo estilo impressionista de pintura ele admirava enormemente. Depois de mais um ano de estudos na academia de arte de Antuérpia, o pintor se concentrou em fazer paisagens e cenas da cidade. Ele só obteve verdadeiro sucesso com seu trabalho quando se mudou para Haia e começou a pintar impressões espontâneas da vida agitada da cidade, de preferência em condições de neblina ou chuva. Ele pintou paisagens, praias com figuras e também retratos.
