Jhoannes Lingelbach Biography
Johannes Lingelbach was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1622. In 1634, together with his family, he moved to Amsterdam, where his father David had decided to start his business. Here, Johannes decided to devote himself to painting and began his artistic training. Subsequently, in 1642, he moved to Paris and subsequently to Rome in 1644. In 1653, he returned to Amsterdam, where he became friends with the painter Jürgen Ovens, a promising pupil of Rembrandt, and collaborated with the well-known landscape painters Meindert Hobbema and Jan van der Heyden.
Lingelbach's painting was influenced by the art of the Bamboccianti who he met and frequented during his stay in Rome. Some of his works, which are very similar to the style and themes of these painters, have been attributed to Pieter van Laer for a long period of time.
His broad views were initially influenced by the landscapes of the Dutch Philips Wouwerman, while in Italy he was in close contact with Viviano Codazzi, as shown by the numerous architectural caprices, so similar to the work of the Bergamo artist.
Lingelbach died in Amsterdam in 1674.
