Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen
Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen (b.1500, Beverwijk – d.1559, Bruxelles)
was a Dutch Northern Renaissance painter.
Vermeyen was a painter and tapestry designer, probably a pupil
of Jan Mabuse. About 1525 he became Court Painter to Margaret of
Austria, regent of the Netherlands at Mechelen and in 1535 he accompanied
the Emperor Charles V to Tunis. This journey supplied him with scenes
for later works, including tapestries designed 1545/48 for the Regent,
Mary of Hungary.
Many portraits are ascribed to him on very little evidence, according
to modern scholars.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
