Johannes Aarts – Death in Battle
Johannes Josephus Aarts (1871–1934) was a Dutch painter, illustrator, and printmaker, best known for his detailed etchings and dramatic woodcut prints. His work often depicted biblical themes, mythology, war, and apocalyptic visions, with a distinct style influenced by Symbolism and Expressionism. Aarts was a master of black-and-white contrast, using intricate linework to create depth and movement in his scenes.
As a professor at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, he influenced many young artists, helping shape early 20th-century Dutch printmaking. His powerful imagery, often filled with chaos, struggle, and human emotion, remains a significant contribution to European graphic arts.
