Jacob de Gheyn II

Jacob de Gheyn II

Jacob de Gheyn II (also Jacques de Gheyn II) (c. 1565, Antwerp - Mar 29 1629, The Hague) was a Dutch painter and engraver, probably most known for his work on the 17th century military manual "The Exercise of Armes".

De Gheyn received his first training from his father, Jacob de Gheyn I, a glass painter, engraver, and draftsman. [ [http://www.artnet.com/library/03/0319/T031910.asp Gheyn, de] . (2000). "The Grove Dictionary of Art." Retrieved January 26, 2007.] In 1585, he moved to Haarlem, and studied under Hendrik Goltzius for the next five years. He moved again to Leiden in the middle of the 1590s. His first commission was for an engraving of the Siege of Geertruitenberg from Amsterdam city officials in 1593. Around 1600, de Gheyn abandoned engraving, and focused his work on painting and etching. Moving to The Hague in 1605, he was employed often by Dutch royalty, designing a garden in the Buitenhof for Prince Maurice of Orange which featured the two first grottoes in the Netherlands. After Prince Maurice's death in 1625, de Gheyn worked for Prince Frederick Henry, his brother. De Gheyn painted some of the earliest female nudes, vanitas, and floral still lifes in Dutch art. He is credited with creating over 1,500 drawings, including landscapes and natural history illustrations. He produced 117 engravings for "The Exercise of Armes" while living in Amsterdam.

De Gheyn married Eva Stalpaert van der Wiele of Mechelen in 1595. His son, Jacob de Gheyn III, was born in 1596, and grew to become an engraver in his own right, as well as the subject of a portrait by Rembrandt. [Kren, Emil, & Marx, Daniel.
