LIEVENS, Jan
Dutch painter (b. 1607, Leiden, d. 1674, Amsterdam)
Dutch painter, draughtsman and printmaker. His work has often suffered by comparison with that of Rembrandt, with whom he was closely associated from 1625 to 1631. Yet Lievens's early work is equal to that of Rembrandt, although in later years he turned more towards a somewhat facile rendering of the international Baroque style favoured by his noble patrons, thus never fully realizing his early promise. Nonetheless, he became a renowned portrait painter and draughtsman, and his drawings Related Paintings of LIEVENS, Jan :. | Portrait of Petrus Egidius de Morrion g | Allegory of the Five Senses | Pilate Washing his Hands sg | Portrait of a Girl dh | Four Elements and Ages of Man: Fire and Childhood | Related Artists: Per EkstromSwedish, 1844-1935 Thomas Mickell BurnhamAmerican, 1818-1866 Alexandre Calame1810-1864

Swiss painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He studied under Francois Diday in Geneva and then travelled to Paris (1837), to the Netherlands and Desseldorf (1838), to Italy (1844) and to London (1850). Despite his frail health he spent each summer painting in the mountains of the Bernese Oberland and central Switzerland, where he produced the drawings and studies from nature that were later used in his studio compositions. A fervent Calvinist, he saw his subjects.
