SAVERY, Jakob, the elder, born at Courtrai, practised at Amsterdam about 1550. He was the father of Jakob Savery the younger, and the master of Willem van Nieulant. He excelled in painting animals, birds, and fishes.

SWERY, Jakob, the younger, p.iinter, was horn at Courtrai about the year 1545, and was a disciple of Hans Bol. He painted landscapes and animals, which he finished with great labour and patience, though in a hard, dry style. He died of the plague at Amsterd.im in 1602. At the Hague there is a ' Kermesse of St. Sebastian ' by him.

SAVERY, Jan, a Flemish painter and engraver, born at Courtrai in 1597. According to Huber, he was the nephew of Roelandt Savery, and was probably his scholar, as he painted landscapes in a similar style. He died in 1655. We have several etchings by this artist, from his own designs, among which are the following:

A set of six mountainous Landscapes, with figures, in- scribed J. Savery^ fee. Nic. de Clerc. exc. A Landscape, with a Stag-hunt ; J. Savery, fee. H. Hondius. A Landscape, with Samson killing a Lion ; J. C. T'isscher^ exc.

SAVERY, Roelandt, the son of Jakob Sarery the elder, was born at Courtrai in 1576, and instructed by his brother, Jakob the younger. It has been sup- posed that he was afterwards a discljile of Paul Brill ; but this cannot be reconciled with chronology, as that artist had left Flanders for Italy, where he passed the remainder of his life, before Savery was of an age to profit by his instruction. The resemblance of his style to that of Brill is not more apparent than to that of Brueghel, and other Flemislj landscape painiers of the time. Savery visited France in the reign of Henry IV., by whom he was emploj'ed in the royal palaces. Soon after his return to the Low Countries, he was invited to the court of Prague, by Rudolph II., in whose service he passed a great part of his life. By the direction of the Emperor he travelled through the Tyrol, where the scenery was entirely to his taste. The studies he made there were of great use in his later works. After the death of the Emperor, he settled at Utreclit, and died there in 16.39. Works :
