Pieter Jan Snyers

Pieter Jan Snyers or Petrus Johannes Snijers, first name also 'Peeter Johannes' (Antwerp, 1696Antwerp, 21 September 1757) was a Flemish painter. He is known for his still life paintings with game.

Life Pieter Jan Snyers was born in Antwerp. He was registered as a pupil of Pieter Snyers at the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1712–13. He was not registered as master at the guild as he was an amateur painter.

When his uncle Pieter Snyers died in 1752, Pieter Jan inherited his large collection of art which included works of major artists of the preceding century. As heir to his considerable art collection which was fairly well documented, Snyers' name regularly appears as one of the names in the provenance of Flemish and Dutch master paintings.

He died in Antwerp.
