The ice views and summer landscapes of Andreas Schelfhout were already very popular during his lifetime. He painted them carefully, with great technical sophistication and with a strong sense of anecdotal detail. He could depict the dry freezing cold of a winter day and the sweet atmosphere of a summer landscape like no other. Sometimes his works were decorated by cattle painter Pieter Gerardus van Os. Schelfhout, together with Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, is the Netherlands' most important romantic landscape painter and had many pupils, including Charles Leickert, Lodewijk Johannes Kleijn, Nicolaas Roosenboom and, surprisingly enough, also the innovative impressionist Johan Barthold Jongkind.
