JANSSENS (or JANSENS), VICTOR HONORIUS (16641739)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 155 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JANSSENS (or JANSENS), VICTOR HONORIUS (16641739) , Flemish painter, was
born
  at
Brussels
 . After seven years in the studio of an obscure painter named Volders, he spent four years in the
household
  of the
duke
  of Holstein. The next eleven years
Janssens
  passed in Rome, where he took eager advantage of all the
aids
  to artistic study, and formed an intimacy with Tempesta, in whose landscapes he frequently inserted figures. Rising into popularity, he painted a large number of cabinet historical scenes; but, on his return to
Brussels
 , the claims of his increasing family restricted him almost entirely to the larger and more lucrative size of picture, of which very many of the churches and palaces of the
Netherlands
  contain examples. In 1718
Janssens
  was invited to Vienna, where he stayed three years, and was made painter to the emperor. The statement that he visited
England
  is based only upon the fact that certain fashionable interiors of the time in that country have been attributed to him. Janssen's colouring was good, his
touch
  delicate and his
taste
  refined.
