Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst , ''Bronchorst'', or ''Bronkhorst'' (1603–1661) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and engraver. He is considered today to be a minor member of the Utrecht Caravaggisti. ==Biography== According to Arnold Houbraken, van Bronckhorst apprenticed as an eleven-year-old with the glass engraver Verburgh in Utrecht. He worked with him for 6 months and worked with two other Utrecht glassworkers before embarking on a Grand Tour in 1620. He did not get far before he was offered work in Arras by the glassworker Peeter Matthys. After six months, he continued on to Paris in 1620, where he worked with the glassworker Chamu. He returned to Utrecht in 1622, where Cornelis Poelenburg taught him to paint.〔(Jan van Bronkhorst biography ) in ''De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen'' (1718) by Arnold Houbraken, courtesy of the Digital library for Dutch literature〕 He married Catalijntje van Noort in 1626. He frequented the studio of Gerard van Honthorst. In 1647 he moved to Amsterdam where he created the stained glass windows and the organ doors (almost the only area in a Calvinist church where figurative painting was sometimes allowed) of the Nieuwe Kerk (finished in 1655). He has been described as the last of the great stained glass painters in Holland. Unlike his work for churches, his secular paintings show the influence of Caravaggio, and also show a striking appeal to sensuality.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Web Gallery of Art has been moved to a new address! )〕 Among his pupils are counted his sons Jan Jansz and Gerrit Jansz, and Cesar van Everdingen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home Jan Gerritsz. van Bronckhorst )〕 Image:Bronckhorst, Jan Gerritsz. van (1603-1661) - Muzikaal gezelschap aan een balustrade.jpg|''Musical Company at a Balustrade'' File:Jan G. van Bronckhorst The procuress.jpg|''The procuress'', 1636-1638, Brukenthal National Museum File:Jan Gerrit van Bronchorst - Young man playing a theorbo (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza).jpg|''Young man playing a theorbo'', 1642-1645, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza 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 Gerritsz van Bronckhorst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
