Jan van Belcamp (1610–1653) was a Flemish painter and copyist, active in England. ==Life== He was born in Antwerp but spent most of his career in England, where he was employed making copies of pictures in the Royal Collection.〔Bryan,1886-9〕 According to his contemporary, Richard Symonds "this Belcamp was an under copier to another Dutchman, that did fondly keep the king's pictures and whenever any nobleman desired a copy, he directed them to Belcamp."〔Quoted in 〕 He also supplied the figures, probably copied from larger portraits, for ''A View of Greenwich'' (c.1632), painted by Adriaan van Stalbemt for Charles I and still in the Royal Collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/theconversationpiece/MicroObject.asp?item=0&themeid=917&object=405291&row=1&detail=about )〕 His paintings of Henry VII and Henry VIII, copied from a large picture by Holbein, later destroyed in a fire at Whitehall, were once at Drayton House in Northamptonshire.〔 There was also a collection of portraits copied by Belcamp at Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire.〔 The "Great Picture" (1648; Abbot Hall Art Gallery), a triptych showing the family of Lady Anne Clifford, formerly in Appleby Castle has been attributed to van Belcamp. Many of the individuals shown were portrayed posthumously, using earlier portraits for reference.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abbothall.org.uk/great-picture )〕 In 1649, following the execution of Charles I, Belcamp was appointed to the commission set up to sell the king's goods. He died in London;〔 Symonds noted that he was recently dead in 1653.〔 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 van Belcamp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
