Jacob Jordaens | Baroque Era painter | Page 2

Jacob (Jacques) Jordaens (19 May 1593 - 18 October 1678) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and tapestry designer known for his history paintings, genre scenes and portraits.

After Peter Paul Rubens** and Anthony van Dyck, he was the leading Flemish Baroque painter of his day.

Unlike those contemporaries he never travelled abroad to study Italian painting, and his career is marked by an indifference to their intellectual and courtly aspirations.

Jordaens studied, like Peter Paul Rubens**, under the painter Adam van Noort, and he married his master’s daughter in 1616, the year after his admission to the guild of painters.

Early in his career Jordaens executed designs for tapestries, and such paintings as Allegory of Fertility (c. 1625) reveal his training as a decorator.
