Life and work
There are no records about the life and training of this artist active in Antwerp in the mid-17th century. He is currently known for only one work attributed to him. It represents the Ommegang in Antwerp. As it was probably painted between 1644 and 1654, this composition was possibly the inspiration for the various interpretations of the subject, which Flemish artists such as Erasmus de Bie and Alexander van Bredael painted at a later date.
