About this person
He went to England as a young man in company with Antoon van Dyck, learning from the master and assisting with painting projects. After Van Dyck's death, de Reyn returned to Dunkirk where he had a successful but lower-profile career painting ecclesiastical commissions, and portraits of wealthy businessmen, celebrity pirates, and their wives. His skill level and style is considered to be close to that of van Dyck himself.
