Pieter Rijsbraeck

He studied painting under the landscape painter Philips Augustijn Immenraet and was registered as a pupil in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1672–1673.

Here he married Genoveva Compagnon, the widow of the Antwerp sculptor Philippe de Buyster who had died in Paris in 1688.

If so this must have been with another spouse since Jacob was born before Pieter Rijsbraeck married Genoveva Compagnon in Paris.

[3] Pieter Rijsbraeck returned to Antwerp in 1689 (or possibly 1692) and was registered again as a master in the local Guild.

As was the custom at the time, Pieter Rijsbraeck regularly collaborated with other artists who were specialists in a particular genre.

A series of six etches depicting mythological scenes in idealized landscapes is in the collections of the Rijksmuseum and the British Museum.
