Jan Baptist van Deynum
Jan Baptist van Deynum, or Duinen (1620–1668), was a Flemish Baroque painter.
Biography.
According to Houbraken, who summarized a three-page poem about his work by Cornelis de Bie, Jan Baptist van Deynum was a respected Flemish painter who quit his job as "hopman" of a schutterij in Antwerp in order to have more time for painting. In 1662, his works could be admired in the "Koningshof" in Antwerp.
According to the RKD, he was
of the family of artists active in Antwerp, which included the miniaturists Jan Baptist and Abraham van Deynum. His activity in Antwerp in the 1650s is known from one work dated 1654.
G. van Deynum is sometimes confused with the artist Gerard (Gerrit) van Deynen who worked in The Hague and was possibly the father or brother of the still life painter Isaac van Duynen. He is sometimes also confused with the Flemish portrait painter Guilliam van Deynum.
