(205K)Hi
an old conversion revised with the new tech of 3D Gugle PRO.
from JANSSENS, Abraham
(b. 1575, Antwerpen, d. 1632, Antwerpen)
Flemish figure and portrait painter, active mainly in Antwerp. He was in
Rome in 1598 and back in Antwerp by 1601. A second visit to Italy seems
likely, for although in 1601 he was painting in a Mannerist style (Diana and
Callisto, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest), by 1909 (Scaldis and Antwerpia,
Musée Royal, Antwerp) his work had become much more solid, sober, and
classical, suggesting close knowledge of Caravaggio in particular. For the
next decade Janssens was one of the most powerful and individual painters in
Flanders, but during the 1620s his work became less remarkable as he fell
under the all-pervasive influence of Rubens. His pupils included Gerard
Seghers and Theodoor Rombouts.
