Biography Nicolas Régnier

Nicolas Régnier (1591-1667), known in Italy as Niccolò Renieri, was a painter, art dealer, and collector from the County of Hainaut, a French-speaking part of the Spanish Netherlands. He is often referred to as a Flemish artist because this term was often used to designate people from the Spanish Netherlands. After training in Antwerp, he was active in Italy where he was part of the international Caravaggesque movement. His subjects include genre scenes with card players, fortune tellers, soldiers, and concerts, religious scenes, saints, mythological and allegorical scenes, and portraits. He also painted some carnival scenes.
