Hendrick van Balen or Hendrick van Balen I (1574 or 1575 in Antwerp – 17 July 1632 in Antwerp) was a Flemish Baroque painter and stained glass designer. He played an important role in the renewal of Flemish painting in the early 17th century and was one of the teachers of Anthony van Dyck.〔(Carl Van de Velde. "Balen, Hendrik van, I." ) Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 8 Jul. 2014〕 ==Life== Van Balen was a pupil of Adam van Noort and possibly also of Marten de Vos. He became a member of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1592-1593 at the age of 17. In 1608-1609 he was the second dean of the Guild and in 1609-1610 he was the first dean. From about 1595 to 1602 he studied art while traveling in Italy.〔(Henrik van Balen biography ) in: Arnold Houbraken, ''De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen'', 1718〕 Although there is no record of his Italian journey, on his return to Antwerp, he became a member of the ''Guild of Romanists''. It was a condition of membership that the member had visited Rome. In the year 1613 the Guild chose him as its dean. In 1605 Hendrick van Balen married Margriet Briers (or 'de Brier') in Antwerp. The couple had 11 children and three of their sons became painters: Jan van Balen, Gaspard van Balen and Hendrick van Balen the Younger. His daughter Maria married the painter Theodoor van Thulden.〔 In 1613 he accompanied Rubens and Jan on a diplomatic mission to the Dutch Republic. Here they met Hendrick Goltzius and other Haarlem artists.〔Peter C. Sutton, ''Dutch & Flemish Paintings: The Collection of Willem Baron Van Dedem'', frances lincoln ltd, 2002, p. 66〕 Van Balen led for over 30 years a successful workshop and had many pupils. He was the teacher of his son Jan van Balen, Anthony van Dyck and Frans Snyders. He was also a contemporary of many of the other famous Flemish artists, such as the Brueghels, Jan and Pieter.〔(Hendrik van Balen ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 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「Hendrick van Balen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
