About Hans IV Jordaens
Lived 1616 – 1680 (aged 63–64). Hans IV Jordaens was a Dutch painter and artist.
Hans IV Jordaens (1616 in Delft – 1680 in Voorburg) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who travelled to Rome.
Biography According to Houbraken he was born in Delft in 1616, where he became a grand master. He spent a long time in Rome, Venice, and Naples, and Houbraken wasn't sure if his best work started before or after this trip.
According to the RKD, he was in Rome during the years 1643-1650 and his nickname was "Brypotlepel". He was in Leiden during the years 1654-1656. He was possibly the son of Symon Jordaens I, and was the teacher of Pieter Jansz van Ruyven.
No known works survive that are attributed to him specifically, since his biographical data has been confused with that of Hans Jordaens.
