~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ He entered the Brussel painters guild on 26 October 1639 as a scholar of Pieter van der Borcht. He seems to have travelled in the following years as he gained his admittance as master craftsman only in 1657. On 13 March 1674 he married with Anna Parys. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Achtschellick is a typical follower of Rubens' style of painting landscapes. He was mainly influenced by Jacques d'Arthois. He painted large wooded sceneries for churches and cloisters, which were then garnished by others with characters and events from the Holy Bible. Achtschellinck used to paint the landscapes in many of the important works of the Flemish painter Gaspar de Crayer (1582-1669). ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The leading Brussels landscape artists were, besides Lucas Achtschellinck : Lodewijk de Vadder (1605-1655) and Jacques d'Arthois (1603-1686). They are usually referred to collectively as "The Soignies Forest Painters". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
