Jan Thomas or Jan Thomas van Ieperen (also Jan Thomas van Yperen) (5 February 1617 – 6 September 1673) was a Flemish Baroque painter and engraver active in Antwerp and at the Habsburg court in Vienna.〔Hans Vlieghe. "Thomas, Jan." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 17 Aug. 2014〕 ==Life== Jan Thomas was born in Ypres, Flanders (hence his name 'van Ieperen', which means 'from Ypres') and died in Vienna. Little is known about his training. The 17th century Flemish biographer Cornelis de Bie wrote in his ''Het Gulden Cabinet'' that Jan Thomas was a student of Peter Paul Rubens. However, modern scholarship tends to regard Jan Thomas as one of the many collaborators in Rubens’ workshop who assisted with large commissions such as the decorations for the Torre de la Parada, the hunting lodge of the Spanish king (1636-1638).〔Arnout Balis, ''Rubens and his Studio: Defining the Problem'', in: Joost vander Auwera, Rubens: A Genius at Work: the Works of Peter Paul Rubens in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium Reconsidered, Lannoo Uitgeverij, 2007, p. 46〕 Jan Thomas became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1639/1640. Two years later he acquired Antwerp citizenship. In 1641/1642 he took Andris Lamberechts on as an apprentice and the next year Andrias de Coninck and Jacob Sons joined his workshop as pupils. In 1642 he married Maria Cnobbaert, daughter of the Antwerp book dealer Jan Cnobbaert.〔(Jan Thomas ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 In 1652 Jan Thomas’ third child was baptized in the St. James' Church in Antwerp, which is evidence that he was then still living in that city. It is believed that Jan Thomas left Antwerp in 1654 to work as a painter for the bishop of Mainz Johann Philipp von Schönborn one of the important courts at that time. Around 1658 he was in Frankfurt at the time of the coronation of Leopold I as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and painted a (now lost) portrait of the emperor. In that period he also received commissions from the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria. From the latter part of the 1650s Jan Thomas certainly lived with his family in Vienna. In Vienna he received commissions from the imperial court and painted the portraits of Leopold I and his wife Margaret Theresa in theater costume. These portraits were made at the occasion of the celebrations surrounding the marriage of the imperial couple in 1666.〔Hans Vlieghe, ''Flemish Art and Architecture, 1585-1700'', Pelican history of art, New Haven: Yale University Press (1998): 111–112. ISBN 0-300-07038-1〕 Jan Thomas also received commissions from the higher clergy and the aristocracy, such as the House of Zrinski.〔 He painted a portrait of the general and poet Miklós Zrínyi just before his death in 1664. 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 Thomas van Ieperen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
