Biography:
Born in either Germany or Belgium in 1604, very few of Jan Boeckhorst’s paintings are known. At the age of 24, he moved to Antwerp and studied under Peter Paul Rubens and collaborated with Frans Snyders and Jan Wildens. Other Baroque Flemish artists, Jacob Jordaens and Anthony van Dyck, also influenced his work. After Rubens’s death in 1640, Boeckhorst completed his unfinished works. In addition to receiving a number of commissions in the 1630’s, he traveled throughout Italy that year. Upon his return, he created altarpieces and designed tapestries and prints. Boeckhorst also completed many historical, religious, and mythological paintings for independent buyers.
