Jacob Jordaens was a Flemish baroque painter, born in Antwerp (now in
Belgium). About 1615 Jordaens was admitted to the Antwerp art guild. By
1621 he had his own workshop and was head of the guild. His talent
attracted the attention of the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens, who
employed him as an assistant. Jordaens was clearly influenced by
Rubens, and although his style was not as refined as that of Rubens, he
is nevertheless considered one of the leaders of northern baroque art.
Aided by his students, Jordaens painted large decorative works,
especially subjects of revelry, grand banquets, and vivacious genre
scenes. His color is brilliant and sensuous, emphasized by luminous
whites and deep reddish tones. Jordaens became famous and was
overwhelmed with commissions, the most important coming after the death
of Rubens in 1640.
