Jan Reynst (26 October 1601, Amsterdam - 29 June 1646, Venice) was a Protestant Dutch merchant in Amsterdam and, with his elder brother Gerrit, an art collector. Reynst was the son of the merchant Gerard Reynst, who in the year 1614 became the second Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, and Margrieta Nicquet, whose merchant brother Jacques Nicquet was a fervent art collector. In 1625 Jan went to Venice where he collected antique statuary and Italian paintings and where he was able to purchase the collection of 230 sculptures and 140 paintings of the estate Andrea Vendramin in 1629. After his death the Roman statues and Italian paintings by Barocci, Bassano, Bellini, Paris Bordone, Pordenone, Palma Vecchio Giorgione, Lorenzo Lotto, Parmigianino, Guido Reni, Giulio Romano, Tintoretto, Titian, Andrea Schiavone, Perugino, Antonello da Messina and Paolo Veronese were shipped to his brother in Amsterdam.〔(Museum kennis ) (Dutch)〕 In 1671 Jan Reynst (his son?) bought a house that housed a secret Catholic church (that is now the Museum Amstelkring), planning to rent it out as storage space but instead realising he could make more money from charging Catholic worshippers to continue using their secret church. ==See also== *Dutch Gift *Reynst Collection 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 Reynst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
