1702 – 1748

Flemish painter, active in England. He first studied under his father, Jan Baptiste Nollekens, and later worked with him in France, where he learnt to make imitations of Antoine Watteau 's fêtes galantes; during his first visit to England, after 1718, he studied under the landscape painter Peter Tillemans. Nollekens's early works are mostly rather pedestrian imitations of Watteau's works, sometimes with picturesque Roman ruins added in the manner of Giovanni Paolo Pannini.Show more
