Pieter Spierinckx

In Paris he worked for the French king Louis XIV of France for whom he painted landscapes.

[2] Pieter Spierincks is known for his landscape paintings and the designs he made for the tapestry workshops in Brussels and Oudenaarde.

His Italianising landscapes further show similarity to the works of Claude Lorrain, particularly in the luminosity of his countryside scenes.

His Italianising style was very popular in his time and represents the decorative trend that arose in Flemish art in the middle of the 17th century.

[3] The cartoons he made for the tapestry workshops were often a collaborative effort with other artists such as Lodewijk van Schoor and Peter Ykens.
