Adriaen van der Cabel

[1] Houbraken wrote that his brother Engel was also a painter, and that Adriaen was already living in Lyon when Johannes Glauber made his grand tour.

[2] His work is sometimes confused with that of his brother Engel van der Cabel (1641-after 1695), also known as Ange or Angelo.

[2] Like his brother, Engel became a member of the Bentvueghels with the nickname Corydon, and he moved with him to Lyons, where in the year 1672, he became a 'Maître-Garde' of the Guild of Saint Luke there.

[3] Van der Cabel's best known student was Lyonnaise landscape painter Adrien Manglard, who was also his godson.

[4] Like van der Cabel, Manglard moved to Rome, where he became one of the best known landscape painters of his day.
