SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Joos van Winghe (1544–1603), a Flemish painter born in Brussels, completed his training in Italy. His travels took him to Rome and Parma, and he participated in decorating the Palazzo Farnese at Caprarola. After returning to the Netherlands, he worked as court painter to the governor Alessandro Farnese.
Around 1584 he settled in Frankfurt, remaining there until his death. Printmaking became an important part of his activity, although he continued to paint. A portrait of a Frankfurt patrician woman, bearing his monogram and dated 1594, documents that practice. His history painting Apelles and Campaspe, made for Emperor Rudolf II and now in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, also recalls his connections with major patrons across Europe.
This profile brings together identity references for Joos van Winghe and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
