MANDER, KAREL VAN, the elder, born
at Meulenbecke,
Flanders, in
1548, died in
Amsterdam,
Sept. 2, 1606.
Flemish school;
pupil of Lucas
de Heere in
Ghent, afterwards
of Pieter
Vlerick at Courtrai.
Went in 1573 to Rome, where he
stayed three years, and on his return painted
(1577) in Basle; accompanied Spranger
to Vienna, where he assisted in decorating
the triumphal arch for the returning Emperor
Rudolph; returned to his native
place, but was soon compelled by the Spanish
disturbances to flee to Courtrai, whence,
in 1582, he went to Bruges, and in 1583
settled at Haarlem; with Goltzius and Cornelis
Corneliszen, founded an academy for
drawing from life; moved to Amsterdam in
1604. The subjects of his mannered pictures
are partly historical and mythological,
partly landscape and genre. His "Het
Schilder Boek," which forms the basis for
the history of art in the Netherlands, is his
chief title to remembrance. Works: Decorated
Shield (1596), Haarlem Museum;
The Deluge, Schleissheim Gallery; Male
Portrait, Vienna Museum.—Allgem. d.

MANDER, KAREL VAN, the younger,
born at Courtrai in 1579, died at Delft after
1665. Dutch school; son and probably
pupil of Karel the elder. In 1616 Christian
IV., wishing to have the principal events of
the war against Sweden in 1613 represented
in tapestry for the Castle of Fredriksborg,
called Karel the younger to Copenhagen,
where he made the cartoons for this work,
which his son Karel the third (born at Delft
about 1610, died at Copenhagen in 1672),
who became court-painter to King Christian,
completed. The latter painted historical
and genre pictures and excellent portraits.
Works: Family Group, Kunsthalle, Hamburg.
