Jan Siberechts (1627–1703) was a Flemish landscape painter who after a successful career in Antwerp, emigrated in the latter part of his life to England where his topographical views stand at the beginning of the English landscape tradition. ==Life== He was born in Antwerp, the son of a sculptor with the same name. He trained in Antwerp with his father and became a master in the local Guild of Saint Luke by 1648.〔(Jan Siberechts, The Ford ) at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum〕〔Hans Devisscher. "Siberechts, Jan." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 14 September 2014〕 It is possible but not certain that in the late 1640s, early 1650s he visited Italy. He married Maria-Anna Croes in Antwerp in 1652.〔(Jean Siberechts ) at the Biographie Nationale de Belgique, Volume 22, p. 372-375 〕 He developed a personal style of painting landscapes, which impressed George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham when he visited Antwerp in 1670. The Duke invited the artist to England. Siberechts arrived in England around 1672 and spent the first three years in England painting decorations in the Duke’s newly built Cliveden House at Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England.〔Helen Jacobsen, ''Luxury and Power: The Material World of the Stuart Diplomat, 1660-1714'', Oxford University Press, 2012, p. 82-83〕 From the second part of the 1670s and in the 1680s he travelled widely in England completing numerous commissions for aristocratic clients.〔 He lived in London where one of his daughters was a lace-maker for the Queen. His younger daughter, Frances, married the Flemish émigré sculptor Artus Quellinus III (known in England as 'Arnold Quellinus') and, after being widowed, John Nost, another Flemish émigré sculptor.〔(Jan Siberechts 1627–c.1700 ) at Tate Britain〕〔Patrick O'Brien, ''Urban Achievement in Early Modern Europe: Golden Ages in Antwerp, Amsterdam and London'', Cambridge University Press, 12 Apr, 2001, p. 219〕 He died in London. John Wootton was one of his pupils.〔(Jan Siberechts ) 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「Jan Siberechts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
