The daughter of Otto van Veen

The daughter of Otto van Veen, known as Venius, the teacher of Rubens, was born at Antwerp in 1602. She was a pupil of her father, and married Louis Malo. The Brussels gallery contains a portrait of her father, from her brush. She died in 1643. The daughter of Martin Pepyn lived in Antwerp about 1619. She specialised in portrait work, and was received into the Corporation of St. Luke, of that city, in 1650, by virtue of being a daughter of the master. decorative painting
The success obtained by the flower-paintings of Seghers and Breughel suddenly caused a great development of this special branch of art, to which, moreover, the celebrated Dutchman Jean-David de Heem, then domiciled in Antwerp, was a notable contributor. Among the women who became inspired by their example and followed their technique may be mentioned: Catherine Peeters, and the three daughters, pupils of the painter, Jean-Philippe van Thielen (himself a direct disciple of Seghers), and Laurence-Catherine Ykens. canvas paintings for sale
The registers of the Antwerp Academy for 1784 contain the name of Marie Baesten, née Ommeganck. Siret's "Dictionnaire" also mentions (at Bruges), the daughter of Louis de Deyster, the painter. Anne de Deyster (1690-1747) attracted notice by the perfection with which she copied her father's pictures. Gertrude de Pelichy, of Utrecht (1743-1825), was appointed an honorary member of the Imperial and Royal Academy of Painting in Vienna, and at Bruges she painted the portrait of the Emperor Joseph II., and that of the Empress Maria-Theresa. oil paintings for sale
At the opening of the 19th Century, the Art of the Miniature was cultivated—as they expressed it in those days—by Marie-Josephe Dargent of Liège, a daughter and pupil of Michel Dargent, the elder, Hortense van Baerlen, and Amélie van Assche, whose sister, Isabelle Catherine, a pupil of her uncle, Henry van Assche, had devoted herself to landscape painting.
Siret's dictionary then notices a large number of women painters both historical and genre. art oil paintings online
