Biography
Van der Laemen was born in Antwerp. According to Houbraken he made merry companies and conversation pieces together with his son Christoffel.[1]
According to the RKD in 1604 he became master of the Guild of St. Luke in his native Antwerp.[2] In 1610–1611 he was given permission by the guild to sell paintings on the Meir (Antwerp).[2] In 1613 he moved to Brussels, where he became master of the St. Luke guild there in 1616.[2] Despite Houbraken's comment that his style was like his son's, he is known today only for landscapes and religious scenes.[2] He was the father of the painter Christoffel Jacobsz van der Laemen.[2]
