From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adriaan de Weerdt (c. 1510 in Brussels – c. 1590 in Cologne) was a Flemish Renaissance painter and engraver.
According to Karel van Mander he travelled to Antwerp to learn to paint from Christian van den Queborn (whose son Daniel became a court painter in The Hague).[1] He returned to Brussels and painted landscapes in the manner of Frans Mostaert.[1] He then travelled to Italy to learn the works of Parmentius and came back home around 1566 painting in a different style altogether.[1] He fled Antwerp with his mother due to the Dutch revolt and moved to Cologne, where he made allegorical prints, sometimes working with Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert on emblem illustrations.[1]
According to the RKD he was active in Italy and moved to Cologne around 1566. He is known for prints and historical allegories.[2]
