Live and act
Aloys Venth was the son of Henry Hubert Venth and Marie Christine Strauch. He began his artistic training as a student of Johann Baptist Joseph Bastiné and then attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy . There is evidence that he ran his studio at Jakobstraße 10 in Aachen in 1845 , where he also spent his main creative time.
In 1855 Venth presented himself as a landscape painter in his own exhibition. In the small hall of the redoubt he presented 30 of his works. The four times of day as marine pieces were kept in transparent colors and warm coloring. One picture showed an approaching thunderstorm over a landscape with a chapel in front of a wooded area. A portrait illustrated his art of creating an illusion of materiality and two earlier hunting scenes were among the exhibits. The Aachen painter Peter Ludwig Kühnen praised Venth's successful new turn to the pictorial genre of landscape painting.
Aloys Venth was the father of the sculptor Gustav Angelo Venth, known in Aachen .
