Hieronymus van Orley
Hieronymus van Orley was a Franciscan painter in the Spanish Netherlands.
Van Orley was born in Brussels in 1590 and learnt the art of painting from Antonie Drua in Mechelen around 1612. Maria [de Taye], abbess of Forest Abbey outside Brussels, commissioned paintings from him for the abbey church. A number of his portraits were engraved by Richard Collin and were reproduced in Jean François Foppens, Bibliotheca belgica.
