BiographyBiography: Painter of religious scenes and portraits. Pupil of Cornelis Schut. After a short stay in London in 1641 Philippe Vleughels went to Paris where he worked in the studio of Jean Michel Picart, executing copies after Anthony van Dyck. He was introduced to the Flemish colony’s club “la Chasse” by Pieter van Mol and became a member of French Académie Royale from 1663. He was awarded numerous commissions from Brisard, a Parliamentary Counsellor, and executed forty pictures for the church of the Carmelite Convent at St. Denis. The Queen Mother commissioned a depiction of the Crucifixion for the Hôtel Dieu, and he painted numerous altarpieces for churches in and around Paris. He was a follower of Rubens.
