JORDAENS, JACOB
1593 Antwerp 1678
Like Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), Jacob Jordaens studied under Adam van Noort (1562–1641) and joined the Guild of Saint Luke as a master in 1615. Just a few years later, around 1616–17, Jordaens' style was already moving closer to that of Rubens. In 1621 Jordaens became dean of the Guild of Saint Luke and by the end of the 1630s he already had sixteen pupils and assistants under him. During this period Jordaens made a name for himself as a 'waterschilder' (watercolour painter), as he produced numerous designs for tapestries and etchings. Later, however, he concentrated on painting with oil colours, which was more lucrative, and specialised in depictions of genre scenes, proverbs, and mythological scenes. Religious subjects were also part of his repertoire and Jordaens, although a public convert to Protestantism, accepted several commissions to decorate Catholic churches in Spanish-occupied Antwerp.
After Rubens' death in 1640, Jordaens completed many of his works and established himself as Antwerp's most important artist, receiving numerous commissions from the Church as well as from princes and kings beyond the city's borders. Jordaens came from a wealthy background, his family having become prosperous through the textiles trade, and his wealth increased with his marriage to the daughter of his teacher, Catharina van Noort (1589–1659). He owned several houses in Antwerp, which he decorated with his own wall and ceiling paintings.Works from our auctions
