Johannes Lingelbach

Together with his son Philip he furnished the garden with an astronomical clock and machines, that could move or play music and depicting biblical or mythological scenes.

Johannes lived in Paris between 1642 and 1644, and moved to Lyon, Genoa and Rome where he collaborated with several Bentvueghels located near Piazza di Spagna before returning to Amsterdam in June 1650.

He was friendly with Karel Dujardin, Jurriaen Ovens and Joan Huydecoper II living at Lauriergracht.

He is one of the few Dutch painters of the Bamboccianti, whose works are documented in depth, making his influence greater in the progression of the style.

[4] Some of his works in Rome were once attributed to Pieter van Laer, but are now rightfully claimed to be Lingelbach’s, such as his, Roman Street Scene with Card Players, (National Gallery).
