Zeger Jacob van Helmont

Zeger Jacob van Helmont[1] (1683 in Antwerp – 1726 in Brussels), was a Flemish painter and tapestry designer who specialized in portraits and history paintings.

In Brussels he joined the local Guild of Saint Luke in the hope of finding a ready market for his work.

The Leyniers workshop ordered a series of cartoons on Ovid's Metamorphoses and van Helmont copied works of the French artist Charles de La Fosse for this commission.

He also made a series of scenes of country life 'after Teniers' together with the landscape painter Augustin Coppens.
