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". External links Sources
