Peter Ykens

Peter Ykens (also spelled Pieter Eijckens, Eyckens and Eykens) was a Flemish Baroque painter and a member of the Guild of St. Luke.

His father was the painter and sculptor Johannes Ykens (1613-1680), who taught his son to paint. In time, Peter began to receive commissions to paint altars in Antwerp and Mechelen, creating many altarpieces. Peter Ykens also painted portraits, including a portrait of King Charles II of Spain, and paintings on historical subjects, made designs for tapestries, and collaborated with landscape and still life painters.

In 1689, Peter Ykens was elected dean of the Guild of St. Luke. He trained about 30 apprentices; his eldest son Jan Frans also became an artist.
