Ignatius van der Stock

The largest collection of works by his hand are a set of seven landscapes with scenes from the life of Jesus in the St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral in Brussels.

He differs from d'Arthois in some aspects such as his more schematized rendering of trees and his preference for a warmer palette, characterised by reddish tones.

Van der Stock is also known for his prints, some after his own designs others after paintings of the Flemish painter and engraver Jacques Fouquier who worked in France.

This is evident in his View of Linkebeek, which is based on one of his paintings, but clearly is original in its depiction of the rural scene of two peasants walking on a shady hollow road.

The map is quite detailed and offers historical information on the landscape and urbanisation in and round the Sonian Forest located near Brussels.
