Jan Raes II

Jan Raes II (1602 – 1639) was a Flemish tapestry weaver chiefly active between 1617 and 1639 in Brussels.

Biography Jan Raes the Second was born in 1602, the son of tapestry weaver Jan Raes the First and Margriet van den Acker. His parents had another child named Jan, born in 1593, who thus evidently died before Raes II's birth. His mother died in 1650 and his father was buried on 1 July 1651. He had nine siblings: Anna, Francesca, Dorothea, Sebastiaan (born 1604), Daniel (born 1605), François (born 1607), Peter (born 1609), and Catharina (born 1611), whose godmother was Catharina Geubels, daughter of Jacques Geubles and Catherine van den Eynde.

In 1627, Jan Raes the Second married Johanna Bexij, by whom he had two daughters: Catharina (born 1630) and Maria-Anna (born 1632).

He died in or around 1639, as a document by upholsterer Jan de Strycker dated 12 March 1639 states that Jan Raes the Younger had "died recently".
