About Jacques Jordaens

1593–1678 • Spanish Netherlands

Flemish painter, tapestry designer and draughtsman. He was the first child of Jacob Jordaens (d 5 Aug 1618), a wealthy cloth merchant, and Barbara van Wolschaten (d 11 Feb 1633). In 1607, at the age of 14, he apprenticed himself to the Antwerp painter Adam van Noort, who later became his father-in-law. Comment on works: Landscapes; Mythology; Genre; Religious; Portraits
