1576‐1639
A landscape painter from Flanders. Born in Kortrijk. From 1604 to 1612, he worked as court painter to Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, where he observed rare tropical animals at the court zoo. From 1606 to 1608, he went to Tyrol and sketched mountain landscapes in the Alps. In 1614, he served Emperor Matthias, the younger brother of Rudolf II, in Vienna, and then settled in Utrecht. He excelled in fantastical landscapes that used images from mythology and the Bible and depicted exotic plants and animals that lived in jungles and forests. His style was influenced by Bruegel the Elder, Hans Bol, van Coninckloo, and others.
