1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Wit, Jakob de
1695 Amsterdam - 1754 ebd.
Two grisaille paintings with allegorical putto depictions. Oil on canvas, relined. Unsigned. Restored. Unframed.
Already during his lifetime Jakob de Wit was first of all famous for his trompe-l'oeil-decoration paintings and highly esteemed even far beyond the borders of the Dutch provinces. He achieved the highest artistic skills in the depiction of mostly allegorical motifs, frequently sceneries populated with putti, he executed in oil on canvas. Thereby he knew how to imitate stone reliefs masterly and in a deceptively realistic way just by using extremely fine colour gradations of grey, and let them appear to the observer like fully sculptural figures. Originally these paintings were partial component of wall decorations and frequently integrated into wooden wall panellings as supraporte.

1695 Amsterdam - 1754 ebd.
Zwei Grisaillen mit Darstellungen von Putti. Öl auf Leinwand, doubliert. Unsign. Altrest.
Jakob de Wit war bereits zu Lebzeiten vor allem für seine Trompe-l'oeil-Dekorationsmalereien bekannt und bis weit über die Grenzen der Niederlande hinaus hoch geschätzt. Dabei erreichte er höchste künstlerische Fertigkeiten in der Darstellung meist allegorischer Motive, häufig mit Putti bevölkerte Szenerien, die er in Öl auf Leinwand ausführte. Dabei verstand er es, in feinsten Grauabstufungen meisterlich und täuschend realistisch Steinreliefs zu imitieren, die dem Betrachter wie vollplastische Stuckaturen erschienen. Ursprünglich waren diese Gemälde Bestandteil der Wanddekoration und häufig als Supraporten in Vertäfelungen integriert.
