루카스 반 발켄 보르 흐 VALKENBORCH , Lucas vanFlemish painter ( b . ca . 1530 , Leuven , d . 1597 , Frankfurt / Main ) Valckenborch ( or Valkenborch , or Valkenborgh ) , family of Netherlandish landscape and genre painters . The family was originally from Leuven but was one of many families who , for political or religious reasons , left the Spanish - occupied southern Netherlands and settled in the more tolerant German imperial cities , particularly Frankfurt am Main , where they often strongly influenced artistic developments . Of the 14 known painters in the family , only Marten van Valckenborch I , his brother Lucas van Valckenborch I and Marten ' s sons Frederik van Valckenborch and Gillis ( Egidius ) van Valckenborch have so far been identified as significant from surviving works . Lucas joined the Mechelen Guild in 1560 and in 1565 was in Antwerp . He married and had a son , Marten van Valckenborch II ( b before 1566 ; d Vienna , 1597 ) , also a painter , before fleeing to Li � ge to avoid persecution ( he was a Protestant ) in 1566 and then to Aachen , where his brother Marten I had settled . In 1574 - 5 Lucas returned to Antwerp and , in 1579 , became court painter to the Habsburg archduke , Matthias , governor of the Spanish Netherlands in Brussels from 1577 to 1582 and later Emperor ( reg 1612 � 19 ) . He accompanied Archduke Matthias to Linz before settling in Frankfurt in 1593 . Lucas worked in the Bruegel tradition , and favoured the subject of the Tower of Babel . He also painted series of the Seasons , and his winter scenes are especially notable .

The family was originally from Leuven but was one of many families who , for political or religious reasons , left the Spanish - occupied southern Netherlands and settled in the more tolerant German imperial cities , particularly Frankfurt am Main , where they often strongly influenced artistic developments . Of the 14 known painters in the family , only Marten van Valckenborch I , his brother Lucas van Valckenborch I and Marten ' s sons Frederik van Valckenborch and Gillis ( Egidius ) van Valckenborch have so far been identified as significant from surviving works . Frederik van Valckenborch was a painter and draughtsman , son of Marten van Valckenborch I . He must have received his first training in Antwerp , possibly from his father , although his earliest works , two drawings - the Deluge ( 1588 ; London , British Museum ) and Moses Drawing Water from the Rocks ( 1589 ; Brunswick , Herzog Anton Ulrich - Museum ) - contain figures of a completely different type from Marten ' s . This has prompted the theory that , whereas he studied landscape painting with his father , he must also have worked with an Antwerp figure painter . Jacob de Backer certainly influenced the young master strongly , but it would be premature to assume that Frederik was his pupil .
