The best known was Balthasar who was a landscape, history and portrait painter. His younger brothers were Jacob Andries, a history painter, and Jan Frans, a copyist and art dealer. Jan Frans was for a while resident as a painter and art dealer in London.〔(Carel Beschey, ''Saint Paul and Saint Anthony'' ) at Jean Moust〕〔Charlotte Gould, Sophie Mesplède, ''Marketing Art in the British Isles, 1700 to the Present: A Cultural History'', Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2012, p. 106〕 Carel Beschey was a pupil of Hendrick Govaerts.〔 In 1727 he won the first prize in the life drawing competition of the Academy of Arts in Antwerp.〔Désiré Van Spilbeeck, Konstantyn Simillion, Frans Jozef Van den Branden, ''Stad Antwerpen.

At his brother’s house, art lovers regularly met up to study the work of the great Dutch and Flemish masters.〔(Pair of winter and summer landscapes ) sold at Sotheby’s on 9 December 2009 in London, lot 5〕 It is not known when or where Carel Beschey died but it is assumed he died in Antwerp c. 1770.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carel Beschey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
