English summary: Denijs van Alsloot (ca 1568 - 1625/26) was without doubt the main landscape Flemish painter at the beginning of the eighteenth century. He rapidly gained favour at Court where he occupied a privileged position. His landscapes are composed of elements taken from the Bruges lace tradition and courtly iconography based on the art of tapestry. His customers appear to have been princes, courtesans and influential state officials. For the first time, this book gives a systematic presentation of the various facets of the works known to have been painted by van Alsloot. The book gives a stylistic and technological analysis of the paintings and sets them against the background of the workshop practices of the time and the artistic patronage of the Hapsburgs. French description: Denijs van Alsloot (vers 1568 ?- 1625/26) fut incontestablement le principal paysagiste a Bruxelles au debut du XVIIe siecle. Il sut rapidement s'attirer les faveurs de la cour, ou il occupa une position privilegiee. Ses paysages, composes a la fois d'elements empruntes a l'heritage bruegelien et a une iconographie courtoise issue de l'art de la tapisserie, semblent avoir vise en premier lieu une clientele de princes, de courtisans et de grands commis de l'etat. L'ouvrage explore pour la premiere fois de maniere systematique les differentes facettes de la production connue de van Alsloot. Compose de deux parties, il propose une etude qui non seulement repose sur une analyse des oeuvres du point de vue stylistique et technologique, mais les situe aussi dans le contexte des pratiques d'atelier de l'epoque et dans celui de la politique artistique des archiducs.
