About Gillis Neyts

  • Biography

    Gillis Neyts was born in 1623.

    The landscape painter and draftsman Gillis Neyts from Brabant was primarily active in Antwerp and Namur. Although documents record a sojourn to Spain, it is unlikely that the artist ever visited Italy, despite the appearance of some Italiante works within his oeuvre.

    Neyts' spacious landscapes, painted in shades of green, brown, and yellow, follow the Flemish landscape tradition. Most of his works depict hilly landscapes featuring castles, overgrown ruins, and towns or villages in the background.

    Gillis Neyts passed away in 1687.
