Portrait of Jan Miel

Southern Netherlands, 1599–1663

Jan Miel was a Southern Netherlands Flemish Baroque painting painter. 16 works are cataloged here, principally at Hermitage Museum, most of them oil paintings. Jan Miel was born in Beveren.

Jan Miel (1599 – April 1664) was a Flemish painter and engraver who was active in Italy. He initially formed part of the circle of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome. He later developed away from the Bamboccianti style and painted history subjects in a classicising style.

He collaborated with many artists in Rome and worked in the latter part of his career in Turin as the court painter of Charles Emanuel II, the Duke of Savoy.
