Jakob Smits (Rotterdam 1855 – Mol 1928) was a European just like the two years older Vincent van Gogh. Ultimately, his Walden lay in the Antwerp Kempen. He found his chosen place, his refuge, in Mol-Achterbos. He lived and worked there in symbiosis with nature, with the farmers and their animals. The barren Kempen soil became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his art. Get to know this special artist.
