Artus Wolffort

Artus Wolffort, Artus Wolffaert or Artus Wolffaerts was a Flemish painter known mainly for his history paintings depicting religious and mythological scenes.

Artus Wolffort was born in Antwerp and moved with his parents to Dordrecht in the year of his birth. He trained as a painter in Dordrecht where he joined the local Guild of Saint Luke in 1603. He returned to Antwerp around 1615 where he worked as an assistant in the studio of Otto van Veen, one of the teachers of Peter Paul Rubens. During this period he lived in the house of van Veen. He became a member of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1617.

He married Maria Wandelaer on 8 September 1619. Their son Johannes Artusz (better known as Jan Baptist Wolfaerts) was born in November 1625 and later became a painter. Artus Wolffort likely operated a workshop in Antwerp, which produced various copies of his works. His pupils Pieter van Lint and Pieter van Mol worked for a while as copyists in his workshop.

Artus Wolffort was one of the artists who worked on the decorations for the Joyous Entry into Antwerp of the new governor of the Habsburg Netherlands Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand in 1635. Rubens was in overall charge of this project for which Wolffort made decorative paintings after designs by Rubens.

His pupils included his son Jan Baptist Wolfaerts, Pieter van Lint, Pieter van Mol and Lucas Smout the Elder. He died in Antwerp.
