JAN AND ANDREAS, Flemish painters, and pupils of Bloemaert, were born at Utrecht about the year 1610. The union of these brothers was remarkable; they were alike inseparable in their studies, their travels, and their painting. Jan painted the landscape part of their pictures in the manner of Claude Lorrain, and Andrew drew the figures and animals in the style of Bamboccio. They both died in 1650; Andrew having been drowned at Venice, his brother Jan, through grief, soon afterwards followed him to the grave. In the museum at Paris there are two pictures by these masters, one a View of Italy at Sunset, the other a Defile. The gallery at Dresden also contains two landscapes by these excellent artists.
