Pieter Coecke van Aelst or Pieter Coecke van Aelst the Elder (August 14, 1502 – December 6, 1550) was a Flemish painter, sculptor, architect and a designer of woodcuts, stained glass and tapestries. His principal subjects are Christian religious themes. He worked in Antwerp and Brussels and was court painter to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. ==Life== He was the son of the Deputy Mayor of Aalst. The early Flemish biographer Karel van Mander reports in his Schilder-boeck published in 1604 that Pieter Coecke studied under Bernaert van Orley, a leading Flemish Renaissance painter. There are no documents that prove this apprenticeship but there are strong stylistic similarities between the styles of the two artists.〔Jane Campbell Hutchison. "Coecke van Aelst Pieter, I." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 8 Dec. 2014〕 Pieter Coecke later studied in Italy before entering the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1527. In 1533, he travelled to Constantinople for one year in an attempt to persuade the Turkish sultan to give him tapestry commissions.〔A. Wunder. "Western Travelers, Eastern Antiquities, and the Image of the Turk in Early Modern Europe" ''Journal of Early Modern History'', 7 (2003).〕 This mission was, however, not successful.〔 Pieter Coecke established a studio in Brussels in 1544 or 1546. In Brussels he realized paintings and produced ''ontwerpen'' (small-scale drawings)〔Edith A. Standen, "Some Sixteenth-Century Flemish Tapestries Related to Raphael's Workshop", in: ''Metropolitan Museum Journal'' (1971).〕 and full-scale cartoons for tapestries.〔R. Bauer, ed. ''Tapisserien der Renaissance: Nach Entwürfen von Pieter Coecke van Aelst'', exhibition catalogue, Schloss Halbturn, 1981; I. Buchanan. "Designers, Weavers and Entrepreneurs: Sixteenth-Century Flemish Tapestries in the Patrimonio Nacional" ''The Burlington Magazine,'' (1992)〕 Pieter Coecke married twice, first to Anna van Dornicke (d 1529). His first wife was the daughter of the Antwerp painter Jan Mertens van Dornicke, one of the most successful painters working in Antwerp.〔(Getting to Know Pieter Coecke van Aelst ) at the Metropolitan Museum〕 His father in law may have been his teacher. There were two children from his first marriage, Michel van Coecke and Pieter van Coecke II. The latter was a painter.〔 After de death of his first wife he had an affair with Anthonette van der Sandt, whom he never married but with whom he had a daughter, Antonette, and at least one son, Pauwel.〔 He later married Mayken Verhulst( 1518-1599 ), who was a painter of miniatures and the mother of three children, a son named Pauwel (even though he had another son with this name), and two daughters called Katelijne and Maria.〔 The prominent painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder married van Aelst's daughter Maria (called 'Mayken'). Karel van Mander stated that Pieter Coecke's second wife was the first teacher of her grandchildren, Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder. He was appointed court painter to Charles V a few months before his death. His students included leading painters such as Gillis van Coninxloo, Willem Key, Hans Vredeman de Vries, Michiel Coxcie, and Pieter Brueghel the Elder. 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「Pieter Coecke van Aelst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
