Jan Baptist van der Meiren〔Name variations: Jan-Baptiste van der Meiren, H. v.d. Moiron〕 (Antwerp, 1664 – in or after 1708) was a Flemish painter specializing in small, usually animated landscapes, harbour views and battle scenes with numerous figures.〔(Jan Baptist van der Meiren ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 ==Life== Jan Baptist van der Meiren was born in Antwerp on 15 December 1664. There are no details on his training.〔 He was admitted as a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1685.〔J.-E. Buschmann, ''Uitgaven der Maatschappij der Antwerpsche bibliophilen, Volume 23'', Vereeniging der Antwerpsche bibliophilen, 1907, p. 545 〕 Despite a lack of documentary evidence, some historians have speculated that he may have visited Italy since his work displays many Italianizing elements.〔(Jan Baptist van der Meiren ) at Soraya Cartategui 〕 Aside from time spent in Vienna in 1695, he worked all of his career in Antwerp.〔 He married Catharina Tassaert in 1690.〔 He took on Jasper Broers as a pupil in 1695.〔 When in 1700 he was elected dean of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke, he paid a sum of 300 guilders to be excused from the execution of this charge.〔 Jan Baptist van der Meiren was very successful working in the established Flemish genres and enjoyed the international patronage of prominent collectors such as Elisabeth Farnese.〔(Biography of Jan Baptist van der Meiren ) at the Museo del Prado site 〕 His compositions commanded high prices at the time.〔 It is not clear when or where he died but it was assumed to have been between 1700 and 1708. If the attribution to van der Meiren of a composition dated 1736 in the collection of the Museum of Western and Oriental Art in Kiev is correct it points to a death date in or after 1736.〔 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「Jan Baptist van der Meiren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
