- Lucas van Uden
Lucas van Uden (
Antwerp ,18 October 1595 –4 November 1672 ) was aFlemish Baroque painter specializing in landscapes.Biography
Lucas van Uden entered Antwerp's
guild of St. Luke in 1626–27. Although he was never part ofPeter Paul Rubens 's studio, his works are partly indebted to that master. Van Uden even made copies of Rubens's works on several occasions. His technique, however, owes as much to earlier painters likeJoos de Momper andJan Brueghel the Elder . General characteristics are a tonally-green recessive view punctuated by slender trees and populated by incidentalpastoral andpeasant figures. Many of Van Uden's fugures were either copied from Rubens or painted byDavid Teniers the Younger . He is often associated with fellow landscape painterJan Wildens .ources
