Hendrik Herregouts〔Alternative name spellings: Hendrik Heeregouts, Henri Herregouts, Hendrik Herregoudts, Hendrik Heregouts, Argauts, Hendrick Erregouts, Romein〕 (Mechelen, 1633 – Antwerp, 1704) was a Flemish history and portrait painter and draughtsman with an international career spanning Italy, Germany and his native Flanders. == Life == Hendrik Herregouts was born in Mechelen as the son of painter David Herregouts from Mechelen who moved to Roermond in 1646. Here David Herregouts built a successful career as a painter thanks to the support of the local Catholic Church. Hendrik’s mother was Cecile Geniets, a daughter from a family of butchers in Mechelen.〔(Andries Van den Abeele, ''Jan-Baptist Herregouts, kunstschilder en brouwer'' ), in: Biekorf, 1995, blz. 87-92 〕〔(Andries Van den Abeele, ''De Herregoudts-portretten en Joseph Van Praet'' ), in: Biekorf, 1995, blz. 286-288 〕 Hendrik had three brothers who became painters: * Jan Baptist Herregouts (Roermond, c. 1646 – Bruges, 1721) was a Flemish portrait and history painter, etcher and brewer mainly active in Bruges. * Willem Herregouts who emigrated to Amiens in France where he was known ''inter alia'' as Guillaume Herregosse or Guillaume Hergosse. * Maximilian Herregouts about whom currently nothing much is known other than two works, one entitled ''Kitchen, in which a woman is busy baking pancakes'' (1674) and a second entitled ''Eliezer and Rebecca at the well''.〔〔E. Baes. ''Jean-Baptiste Herregouts'' in: Biographie Nationale, Volume 9, 287-288 〕〔(Maximilian Herregouts (active circa 1674), ''Eliezer and Rebecca at the well'' ) at Christie's〕 Hendrik Herregouts likely first trained under his father who had moved to Roermond. Hendrik Herregouts travelled to Rome at an early age to continue his studies.〔E. Baes. ''Henri Herregouts'' in: Biographie Nationale, Volume 9, 285-287 〕 He later moved to Germany.〔(Familie Herregouts ), in: Mechelen MAPT 〕 He married Anna Dorothea Cremers in Cologne in 1660 or 1661.〔Gregor Martin Lechner, ''Der ››Göttliche Kinderfreund‹‹ des Hendrik Herregouts in Göttweig'', in: Alte und moderne Kunst ; 25.1980, 172/173, p 24 - 29 〕 In 1664 Hendrik Herregouts became a master of the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp, but some years later we find him completing commissions in Mechelen. Here he had to join the local Guild of Saint Luke. Around 1679-1680, he had again a workshop in Antwerp.〔 His younger brother Jan Baptist likely joined him in his workshop in Antwerp. He became a member of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1677.〔 Between the years 1680 and 1690 he lived for several years in Bruges, where he was possibly joined by his brother Jan Baptist to assist with some of the religious and secular commissions he was completing in that city.〔 He probably intermittently travelled to Italy. He was given the nickname 'Romein' (the 'Roman') because of his close connection to Italy. His marriage was reportedly not happy and he separated from his wife.〔 After the death of his first wife, he married a second time in Antwerp in 1682.〔 His second wife was Nathalie Godijn, likely the sister of his pupil Abraham Godijn.〔 In 1685 he received a commission from the Confrerie of the Holy Sacrement to design a triumphal arch to commemorate the centenary of the restoration of the Catholic cult in the St. James' Church, Antwerp.〔 His pupils included Abraham Godijn, Martinus van Nies (1679-1680); Alouysius Sammels and Cornelis Henricus van Meurs (1693-1694).〔(Hendrik Herregouts ) at the RKD 〕 He died at an elevated age in Antwerp.〔 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「Hendrik Herregouts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
