Victor Wolfvoet II
Victor Wolfvoet the Younger was a Flemish painter and art dealer, a member of the Guild of St. Luke.
It is believed that as a young man he worked in the studio of Peter Paul Rubens, where he assisted in the creation of works and painted several compositions based on the works of the great Antwerp master. In addition to painting his own pictures of historical and allegorical themes, Wolfvoet made copies of paintings by prominent painters of his time, including van Dyck and Rubens.
In addition, Wolfvoet the Younger, like his father, was active in the art trade. The inventory of his estate, compiled after his death, lists more than seven hundred works, including twenty oil sketches by Rubens.
