Jacques de Bruyn

Jacques de Bruyn was active in Flanders and France in the late 17th century. He is recorded in Paris and Antwerp in 1654 where he worked as an artist and art dealer. He was a business partner of the well-known still life painters Jean Michel Picart and Guillaume Forchondt. Together with his partners, he fed the high demand for Dutch paintings in France. He is also later documented in Lille, which was annexed to France in 1667. He was the previous owner of the painting Résurrection de Lazare by Petrus Paulus Rubens (Schloss German no. 187/ French no. 222).
