The friend and fellow student of Rembrandt (q.v.), Lievens was the son of an embroiderer and showed remarkably precocious abilities as a painter. He began studying with Joris van Schooten (1587–1651) at the age of eight and spent some time as a pupil of Pieter Lastman (q.v.) in Amsterdam, before taking on independent commissions from the age of fourteen. He and Rembrandt may have shared a studio in Leiden in the later 1620s, although by 1632 Lievens had decided to travel: moving first to England, where he painted portraits of the English royal family, and then to Antwerp, Amsterdam and The Hague, where he was a founding member of the Pictura confraternity in 1656. In later life he moved between The Hague and Amsterdam, where he died. |
