Biography
According to Houbraken, he was a flower painter along with Frans Ykens.[1] According to Cornelis de Bie's work on painters called Het Gulden Cabinet, however, which had been Houbraken's source, only Frans was a famed flower painter, and Jan was famous for being good at arranging subjects.[2] He had first learned to draw as part of his training to become a sculptor, and he was a respected sculptor before becoming known for his paintings.[1][2]
According to the RKD he was the son of sculptor Melchior Ykens and the father of the painters Catharina Ykens II and Peter Ykens.[3] He entered the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1639 as winemaster, meaning he was the son of a member.[3] His pupils besides his children were the sculptor Flups Tallaert, (1640–41), Lamberecht la Fosse (1641–42), Peeter van Opbergen (1645–46), and Jan-Battista van Neckens (1665–66).[3]
