Jacob Matham (1571-1631)
Born in Haarlem and since
1581 pupil of his stepfather Hendrick Goltzius,
1593-1597 in Italy, Venice and Rome, settled 1598 in Haarlem, 1605 in Venice,

Matham is perhaps the most profound Goltzius engraver of his time.
David Vinckboons (bapt.
Aug 13, 1576, Mechelen – 1632 Amsterdam) - Dutch School
Dutch painter of Flemish origin. Vinckboons was one of the
most prolific and popular painters and print designers in the Netherlands.
Himself influenced by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, he was instrumental — together
with Hans Bol and Roelant Savery — in the development of genre painting in the
northern Netherlands.The family moved to Antwerp around 1580, and then to
Middelburg after the Spanish occupation of Antwerp in 1585. It is not likely
they moved for religious reasons to Amsterdam. In 1602 David married in
Leeuwarden to Agneta van Loon and lived in Sint Antoniesbreestraat like
many other artists and painters. According to Karel van Mander he did not have
any teacher other than his father Phillipe, a painter on canvas with watercolors,
an art form practised mainly in his birthplace of Mechelen. David specialized in
elegant figures in park-like landscapes (Outdoor Merry Company) as well as
Kermis and other village festivals. His landscapes reflect his contact with
Gillis van Coninxloo. Vinckboons attracted a number of students; among them were
Gillis d'Hondecoeter, Claes Janszoon Visscher and probably Esaias van de Velde.
