Jacob de Gheyn III

Jacob de Gheyn III was a Dutch artist, painter and printmaker of the Golden Age.

He was the son of Jacob de Gheyn II, canon of Utrecht, engraver and graphic artist, a favorite royal artist who designed a garden in The Hague for the royal family. And his grandfather was a miniaturist and glass painter. De Gheyn learned etching from his father, then studied in Leiden with Constantin and Maurits Huygens. Thanks to his rich inheritance, he did not bother to work. After traveling to London and Sweden in 1620, Jacob de Gheyn III lived in The Hague and then moved to Utrecht, where he became a canon of St. Mary's Church and lived until the end of his life.

Jacob de Gheyn III patronized Rembrandt, who painted a portrait of him in 1632. This portrait has become famous in modern times for being mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records as the most frequently stolen painting and even bears the nickname "Rembrandt to take away".
