JANSSENS (or JANSENS), See also:VICTOR See also:HONORIUS (1664–1739)  , Flemish painter, was See also:born at See also:Brussels . After seven years in the studio of an obscure painter named Volders, he spent four years in the See also:household of the See also:duke of See also:Holstein . The next eleven years See also:Janssens passed in See also:Rome, where he took eager See also:advantage of all the See also:aids to See also:artistic study, and formed an intimacy with Tempesta, in whose landscapes he frequently inserted figures . Rising into popularity, he painted a large number of See also:cabinet See also:historical scenes; but, on his return to Brussels, the claims of his increasing See also:family restricted him almost entirely to the larger and more lucrative See also:size of picture, of which very many of the churches and palaces of the See also:Netherlands contain examples . In 1718 Janssens was invited to See also:Vienna, where he stayed three years, and was made painter to the See also:emperor . The statement that he visited See also:England is based only upon the fact that certain fashionable interiors of the See also:time in that See also:country have been attributed to him . See also:Janssen's colouring was See also:good, his See also:touch delicate and his See also:taste refined .
