Jan Baptist Herregouts〔Alternative name spellings: 'Jan Baptist Herregoudts' and 'Jan-Baptist Herregouts'.〕 (Roermond, c. 1646 – Bruges, November 25, 1721) was a Flemish portrait and history painter, etcher and brewer mainly active in Bruges. == Life == Jan Baptist Herregouts was likely born in Roermond in or after 1646 as the son of painter David Herregouts from Mechelen who had moved to Roermond in 1646. Here David Herregouts had built a successful career as a painter thanks to the support of the local Catholic Church. Jan Baptit’s mother was Cecile Geniets, a daughter from a family of butchers in Mechelen.〔(Andries Van den Abeele, ''Jan-Baptist Herregouts, kunstschilder en brouwer'' ), in: Biekorf, 1995, blz. 87-92 〕〔(The RKD article on Jan Baptist Herregouts ) places his place of birth in Dendermonde at c. 1640 but this is likely due to a misreading of the names for the cities Dendermonde and Roermond 〕〔(Andries Van den Abeele, ''De Herregoudts-portretten en Joseph Van Praet'' ), in: Biekorf, 1995, blz. 286-288 〕 Jan Baptist had three brothers who were painters: * Hendrik Herregouts (Mechelen, 1633 – Antwerp, 1704) who had a peripatetic career as a painter including stints in Antwerp and Bruges. * Willem Herregouts who emigrated to Amiens in France where he was known i.a. as Guillaume Herregosse or Guillaume Hergosse. * Maximilian Herregouts about whom currently nothing much is known other than two works, one entitled ''Kitchen, in which a woman is busy baking pancakes'' (1674) and a second entitled ''Eliezer and Rebecca at the well''.〔〔E. Baes. ''Jean-Baptiste Herregouts'' in: Biographie Nationale, Volume 9, 287-288 〕 Jan Baptist likely first trained under his father and may have made a study tour to Italy. He then worked for several years in Antwerp probably in the workshop of his brother Hendrik. He became a member of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1677. He subsequently moved to Bruges, possibly assisting his brother Hendrik with some of the commissions he was completing in that city. He became a master in the Bruges Guild of Saint Luke in 1684. He subsequently filled various leadership positions in the guild. In 1717 he was one of the four artists who contributed funds to the creation of a drawing academy in Bruges. 〔 Jan Baptist became a successful history and portrait painter. He married Anna-Pieternelle Timmermans. The couple had two children: Marie-Anne Herregouts (1685-1749) and Jan Baptist Herregouts (1688-1717). Jan Baptist or his wife likely operated a beer brewery in Bruges. He died in Bruges where he was buried in the St James Church.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jan Baptist Herregouts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
