Johannes van Mildert or Hans van Mildert (alternative names: Joannes van Mildert, Johannes Van Milder, and nickname ''den Duyts'') (Königsberg, 1588 - Antwerp, 1638) was a Flemish sculptor, who is best known for his baroque sculptures found in many Belgian and Dutch churches. == Life == He was the son of the Antwerp painter Anthoon van Mildert (d. 1597) who had migrated to Köningsberg. He was probably the pupil of Willem van den Blocke, another Fleming who had settled in Köningsberg.〔(Biographical details ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 After the death of his father he went to Antwerp, where he became a master in the Guild of Saint Luke in 1610. He possibly undertook a trip to Rome around 1608. It is believed that after 1620 he spent some time in Paris.〔 He became a citizen of Antwerp in 1628.〔(Iris Kockelbergh. "Mildert, Hans van" ) Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. Feb. 1 2014〕 In Antwerp he became friends with Rubens who had a similar background as they were both Flemings who were born abroad and had returned to their home town.〔 When in 1633 Rubens was elected dean of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke he was allowed to leave the actual administration in the hands of van Mildert.〔(Peter Paul Rubens biography )〕 His nickname 'den Duyts', which means 'the German', refers to the fact that he was born and raised in Köningsberg, which was then part of Germany. He was married to Elisabeth Waeyens and his son Cornelis van Mildert was also a sculptor and draughtsman.〔 His daughter Elizabeth married the sculptor Gerard van Opstal.〔(Biographical details of Gerard van Opstal ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 His son Cornelis and his son-in-law Gerard van Opstal completed some of the works left unfinished at the time of his death.〔(Master ivory carvers: Gerard van Opstal )〕〔(Peter Paul Rubens, The Glorification of the Eucharist )〕 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「Johannes van Mildert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
