Theodoor Rombouts (2 July 1597 – 14 September 1637) was a Flemish painter who is mainly known for his Caravaggesque genre scenes depicting lively dramatic gatherings as well as religiously themed works.〔Hans Vlieghe. "Rombouts, Theodoor." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 25 Sep. 2015〕 He is considered to be the primary representative of Flemish Caravaggism. ==Life== Rombouts was born in Antwerp as the son of Bartholomeus Rombouts, a wealthy tailor, and Barbara de Greve.〔De liggeren en andere historische archieven der Antwerpsche sint Lucasgilde van 1453-1615, edited and published by Ph. Rombouts and Th. van Lerius, Antwerp, 1872-1876, p. 450 〕〔Frans Jozef Peter Van den Branden, ''Geschiedenis der Antwerpsche schilderschool'', Antwerpen, 1883, p. 885-889 〕 He was a pupil of Frans (Franchois) van Lanckvelt in 1608 and later also studied under Abraham Janssens and possibly Nicolas Régnier in Antwerp.〔〔(Theodore Rombouts, ''Card Players'' ) at Otto Naumann Ltd.〕 He traveled to Rome in 1616 and stayed there until 1625.〔(Theodoor Rombouts ) at the Kremer Collection〕 He was recorded in the Roman parish of Sant’Andrea delle Fratte, along with two other Flemish painters, Francesco Tornelli (Tournier?) and Robert d’Orteil.〔(Theodoor Rombouts, ''A Young Soldier'' ) at Adam Williams Fine Art〕 It is possible that on a visit to Florence he met the Caravaggist Bartolomeo Manfredi and worked for Cosimo II de' Medici.〔(Matthias Depoorter, ''Theodoor Rombouts'' ) at Baroque in the Southern Netherlands〕 In 1622 he also travelled to Pisa.〔 Upon his return to Antwerp in 1625 he became a master of the Guild of St. Luke. In 1627 he married Anna van Thielen, who was from a noble family and the sister of Jan Philip van Thielen. As his wife's family was not from Antwerp but from the Mechelen area, Rombouts had been required to obtain before the wedding a dispensation from the Antwerp City Council to consume the marriage outside Antwerp in order not to loose his Antwerp citizenship rights (in Dutch: 'poortersrechten').〔 The year after the wedding the couple had a daughter.〔 His wife's brother Jan Philip van Thielen became his pupil in 1631 but would become a still life painter rather than a genre or history painter like Rombouts.〔(Theodoor Rombouts ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 In the period 1628-1630 Rombouts was deacon of the Guild in Antwerp. In 1635 Rombouts collaborated with other artists on the programme of the decorations of the Joyous Entry of Cardinal-infante Ferdinand in Antwerp, which was under the general direction of Rubens. He died in Antwerp not long after the completion of this decorative project.〔 Rombouts' pupils were Nicolaas van Eyck, Jan Philip van Thielen and Paulus Robyns.〔 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「Theodoor Rombouts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
