6. Bernard of Brussels

A good Painter of Chaces, Forests and the hunting of wild beasts; Of this sort are those pieces which he made for the Emperor Charles the 5th, representing the Forest of Soigne, and the curious Prospects that surround it, in which the said Emperor, and the most considerable Persons of his Court that attended him in this noble exercise are drawn to the life. His designs of this kind are so excellent, that they were adjudged proper to be imitated in the richest Tapistries that could be made for the Palaces of the Princes of the Austrian family. There are 16 small pieces of his representing several Princes and Princesses of the Illustrious House of Orange, which were thought worthy to be copied by John Jordans one of the best Painters of Antwerp. He lived about the year 1530.
