Jan and his broth- er Andries having learned the elements of painting from their fa- ther, Dirck, glass painter, were apprenticed by him to Abraham Bloemart. The broth- ers travelled in France and Italy. At Rome, Jan imitated the style of Claude Lorraiu and painted some excellent landscapes, in which Andries, who followed the manner of Van Laar, introduced figures and animals. It is said that Jan, after his brother was drowned at Venice, returned to Utrecht and died of grief soon after. But doubt is thrown upon this story by the signature of Jan, when dean of the guild in 1649 ; he had re- turned to Utrecht in 1644.

Genoese school ; patro- nized by Cardinal Giulio Sacchetti, who placed him at Rome in the studio of Pietro da Cortona. Sacchetti called him Raffael- lino from his happy imitation of Raphael ; but his style is rather that of Pietro, who is said to have dismissed him and Francesco Rornanelli, for endeavouring to supplant him. Afterwards painted in Naples and in Genoa. His Meeting of Jacob and Esau is in the Capitol Gallery, Rome. Lanzi, iii. 276; Ch. Blanc, ficole genoise; Soprani, 161.
