# VERMEYEN, Jan Cornelisz. [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Lifespan: 1500–1559 - Profession: painter - School: Dutch ## Biography Netherlandish painter and tapestry designer, probably a pupil of Mabuse. About 1525 he became Court Painter to Margaret of Austria, regent of the Netherlands at Mechelen and in 1535 he accompanied the Emperor Charles V to Tunis. This journey supplied him with scenes for later works, including tapestries designed 1545/48 for the Regent, Mary of Hungary. At present many portraits are ascribed to him on very little evidence, as an alternative to Scorel, Heemskerck or Lucas van Leyden. ## Related artworks - [Felipe de Guevara]() - [Female Head]() - [Jean Carondelet]() - [Jean Carondelet]() - [Judith with the Head of Holofernes]() - [Oriental Meal]() - [Portrait of an Older Man]() - [Seated Oriental Woman]() - [St Donatian]() - [St Jerome Meditating]() - [The Holy Family by a Fire]() - [The Holy Family]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
