Jan van Haelbeck or Jan van Haelbeeck〔Also known as: 'Jan van Halbeeck'〕 (''fl'' 1600 - 1630) was a Flemish engraver. He was mainly active in Paris in the first 30 years of the 17th century and helped introduce copper engraving as a technique in French printing. He worked on various publication projects on religious and worldly subjects and portraits.〔(Jan van Haelbeeck ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 ==Life== Very little is know about the life of Jan van Haelbeck. It is known he was active in Paris roughly between 1600 and 1630.〔 In Paris, he was part of a group of émigré Flemish engravers who helped transform French engraving practices. The Flemish engravers popularized copper engraving as a technique in French printing. They also introduced certain compositional schemes and subjects such as portraiture familiar to Flemish printmakers into French publishing.〔Séverine Lepape, "Les éditeurs de la rue Montorgueil et les gravures flamandes: la production des Mathonière", In Monte Artium. Journal of the Royal Library of Belgium 3 (2010) 〕 Van Haelbeck is known to have had a relationship with the Copenhagen royal court and is sometimes referred to as the court artist of King Christian IV of Denmark. He was one of the principal artists who contributed the illustrations to Italian fencing master Salvator Fabris' ''Lo Schermo, overo Scienza d’Arme'', which was published in 1606 in Copenhagen with royal support. The publication was the first publication made with copperplates in Denmark.〔Kronik april-juni 1992, p. 63 〕 It is possible that van Haelbeck was visiting or working in Copenhagen around 1624.〔 Jan van Haelbeck is assumed to have died in Paris around 1630.〔 Jan van Haelbeck was formerly believed to be identical with the painter who is known as the Monogrammist JVH as that artist’s paintings were only signed with the monogram JVH. The Monogrammist JVH was responsible for four religious paintings now in the collection of the Museum Catharijneconvent. It is now clear that the two artists are not identical.〔(Monogrammist JVH, ''Christus op de koude steen'' ) 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 van Haelbeck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
