Jan Coxie〔Name variations: Jan Coxyen, Jan van Coxcie, Jan de Coxcie, Jan Coxie, Goris de Coxie〕 (Mechelen, baptized on 26 February 1629 - Mechelen, 1670) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman mainly known for his landscape paintings. He was a member of the Coxie family of artists which played an important role in the development of Flemish painting in the 16th and 17th centuries.〔(Jan Coxie ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 ==Life== Jan Coxie was born in Mechelen as the son of Michiel Coxie III. He was a great grandson of Michiel Coxie, one of the leading Flemish Renaissance painters who was known as the 'Flemish Raphael'. Jan Coxie trained under his father and was accepted as a master of the local Guild of Saint Luke in 1651. Jan Coxie married Joanna Biset in 1650 or in 1667 according to different sources.〔〔(Edm. De Busscher, ''Jean-Michel et Jean-Antoine Van Coxcie'' ) in: La Biographie Nationale de Belgique, Volume 4, p. 466-469 〕 Joanna Biset was the sister of the painter Charles Emmanuel Biset. Charles Emmanuel Biset was originally also from Mechelen but had settled in Antwerp where he was director of the Academy of Antwerp.〔 Two of Jan's sons became painters in their own right: Jan Anthonie (1650/1670 - c. 1720) who had an international career as a portrait painter and Jan Michiel (1650/1670 - after 1689/1709) who remained in Mechelen where he worked mainly as a history painter. The three members of the Coxie family are sometimes confused with each other as they shared the first name 'Jan'.〔 Jan Coxie worked in Mechelen most of his life. Libert de Paepe, the abbot of the Park Abbey in Heverlee, was a great admirer of Coxie and commissioned at least 31 paintings by Coxie.〔 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 Coxie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
