Nella vita di Jacques Jordaens
Tutta la vita1618
Buys a home in the quarter where he grew up
Jordaens and his wife bought a home in the neighbourhood where he grew up: by some accounts, two adjoining houses on the Hoogstraat behind the house of the merchant Backx; by others, a house at Reyndersstraat 4. His father-in-law later moved in with them; here the painter set up his studio and spent nearly all his life.
28 September 1621
Dean of the Guild of Saint Luke
Jordaens accepted the post of dean of the Guild of Saint Luke on condition that he alone would cover the expenses of his term but would not be liable for the debts left by his predecessors. He held the post for only one year.
1621–1667
His workshop: fifteen pupils in the guild records
Between 1621 and 1667 the guild registered fifteen pupils with Jordaens (the best known being Jan Boeckhorst), and six more are named in court documents; his son Jacob and his cousin Arnoldus also trained with him. His fame drew foreigners: after 1642 the Polish painter Aleksander Jan Tricius became his pupil, and in 1645 Queen Christina of Sweden meant to send her protégé Georg Waldau, but the threat of war in Flanders prevented it.
