Biography

According to Houbraken he was a good animal painter specialized in horses.[1] In 1640 he came to the court of Christian IV where one of his life-sized horses was so well-painted that a live horse sprang at it thinking it was real.[1][2]

According to the RKD he was the teacher of the Danish painter Bernhard Keil and the son of Hans Steenwinkel.[3] He traveled to Italy in 1629.[3] In 1632 he was back north where he became a member of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke.[4] He was followed by Adriaen Hansz Muiltjes.[3]

gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
