Jacob De Backer

Jacob De Backer (c. 1555, 1585) was a Flemish Mannerist painter active in Antwerp during the late 16th century, known for his refined religious and allegorical compositions. He trained in the tradition of Frans Floris and produced elegant, elongated figures characteristic of Northern Mannerism. His works, though relatively rare at auction, are prized for their sophisticated draughtsmanship and rich chromatic palette.
