(1586-1643 or 1656), also known as The Master of the Winter Landscapes, was a Flemish Baroque painter who specialized in winter landscapes influenced by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Gillis van Coninxloo. He became a master in Antwerp's guild of St. Luke in 1611, but little else is known of his career. Like his contemporaries in Antwerp, Abraham Govaerts and Alexander Keirincx, Leytens painted wooded landscapes populated with small figures, bracketed by strong repoussoir trees. His paintings, however, were generally winter scenes, a recognized specialty known as a Winterken ("little winter").  Related Paintings of Gijsbrecht Leytens :. | Bacchus | Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Cunningham | Antoine Nompar de Caumont, duc de Lauzun | Self-Portrait in Armor | Lovisa, 1828-1871, queen, married to king Karl XV |
