HUYSMANS

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 23 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUYSMANS , the name of four Flemish painters who matriculated in the Antwerp gild in the 17th century. Cornelis the elder, apprenticed in 1633, passed for a mastership in 1636, and remained obscure. Jacob, apprenticed to Frans Wouters in 165o, wandered to England towards the close of the reign of Charles II., and competed with Lely as a fashionable portrait painter. He executed a portrait of the queen, Catherine of Braganza, now in the national portrait gallery, and
Horace
  Walpole assigns to him the likeness of Lady Bellasys, catalogued at Hampton
Court
  as a
work
  of Lely. His portrait of Izaak Walton in the National Gallery shows a disposition to imitate the styles of
Rubens
  and Van Dyke. According to most accounts he died in London in 1696. Jan Baptist Huysmans, born at Antwerp in 1654, matriculated in 1676-1677, and died there in 1715-1716. He was younger brother to Cornelis Huysmans the second, who was born at Antwerp in 1648, and educated by Gaspar de Wit and Jacob van
Artois
 . Of Jan Baptist little or nothing has been preserved, except that he registered numerous apprentices at Antwerp, and painted a landscape dated 1697 now in the Brussels museum. Cornelis the second is the only master of the name of Huysmans whose talent was largely acknowledged. He received lessons from two artists, one of whom was
familiar
  with the Roman art of the Poussins, whilst the other inherited the scenic style of the school of
Rubens
 . He combined the two in a
rich
 , highly coloured, and usually effective style, which, however, was not free from monotony.
Seldom attempting anything but woodside views with fancy backgrounds, half Italian, half Flemish, he painted with
great
  facility, and left numerous examples behind. At the outset of his career he practised at Malines, where he married in 1682, and there too he entered into some business connexion with van der
Meulen
 , for whom he painted some backgrounds. In 1706 he withdrew to Antwerp, where he resided till 1717, returning then to MVIalines, where he died on the 1st of June 1727.
Though most of his pictures were composed for cabinets rather than churches, he sometimes emulated van
Artois
  in the production of large sacred pieces, and for many years his " Christ on the Road to Emmaus " adorned the choir of Notre Dame of Malines. In the gallery of Nantes, where three of his small landscapes are preserved, there hangs an " Investment of Luxembourg," by van der
Meulen
 , of which he is known to have laid in the background. The national galleries of London and Edinburgh contain each one example of his skill. Blenheim, too, and other private galleries in England, possess one or more of his pictures. But most of his works are on the European continent.
