Gaspar de Crayer (also called Jasper de Crayer, ''Gaspard de Crayer'' and ''Caspar de Crayer'') (18 November 1582 – 27 January 1669) was a Flemish painter known for his many Counter-Reformation altarpieces and portraits. He was a court painter to the governors of the Southern Netherlands and worked in the principal cities of Flanders where he helped spread the Rubens style.〔(Gaspar de Crayer ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕〔Hans Vlieghe. "Crayer, Gaspar de." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online Oxford University Press, Web 4 February 2015.〕 ==Life== Gaspar de Crayer was born in Antwerp as the son of Gaspard de Crayer the Elder, a decorative painter, illuminator and art dealer.〔(Gaspard DE CRAYER, ''Caritas Romana'' ) at Gallerie Jan de Maere〕 He is believed to have studied under Raphael Coxie, the court painter of the governors of the Spanish Netherlands Albert VII, Archduke of Austria and Isabella Clara Eugenia.〔(Matthias Depoorter, ''Gaspar de Crayer'' ) at barokinvlaanderen〕 Rather than stay in Antwerp, he looked for opportunity in the capital Brussels where he became a master in the Guild of Saint Luke in 1607. He was a dean of the Guild from 1611 to 1616 and was a member of the Brussels city council in 1626-1627. Even while he gained a high social position in Brussels, de Crayer did not lose contact with his hometown Antwerp. He was in particular a friend and business associate of the art dealer Matthijs Musson (c. 1600–78), who was also his patron and arranged commissions for him.〔 He married Catharina Janssens on 17 February 1613.〔 He worked in Brussels for the successive governors the Archdukes Albert and Isabellla, Cardinal-infant Ferdinand and Archduke Leopold Wilhelm. He operated a large workshop which produced portraits of members of the leading classes in Brussels as well as a large number of altarpieces for churches in Flanders and abroad including Germany and Spain. He also received in 1647 a commission from Dutch architect Jacob van Campen to assist in the decoration of Huis ten Bosch, the palace of stadtholder Frederick Henry in The Hague. In his large workshop in Brussels he trained a significant number of pupils between 1610 and 1661.〔 He worked regularly in Ghent where he produced altarpieces and also played a leading role in the coordination of the monumental decorations for the Joyous Entry of the Cardinal-Infante in Ghent (1635).〔 He finally moved to this city, where he spent the last five years of his life.〔 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「Gaspar de Crayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
