Jan Baptist Martin Wans

Jan Baptist Martin Wans or Jan Baptist Wans[1] (10 December 1628 – between 1684 and 1687) was a Flemish Baroque painter known for his landscapes and religious scenes.

[2][3][4] Wans was born in Antwerp where he started his artist training in the studio of Frans van Oosten in 1641.

He was registered with the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp as a pupil under the name 'Jan Baptist Wané'.

[2] He married Cornelia van der Stael in 1659 and the couple had two sons.

[2] A ground for believing that he may have lived past 1684 is evidence of a legal dispute in 1685 involving a painter called Jan Baptist Wans over his refusal to hand over a painting that he had promised to give in return for services rendered by a doctor.
