Gaspar Hovic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaspar Hovic , also known as Jaspaert Heuvich or Gaspard Heuvick (* around 1550 in Oudenaarde , † 1627 in Bari ) was a Flemish painter who stayed in Italy for a long time and made several paintings, especially for the Bishop of Apulia .

Life

Hovic was born around 1550 in Oudenaarde, a small Flemish town near Ghent. His father Josse was a carpet weaver, in whose workshop the son probably learned the trade. Around 1570, at the age of twenty, he made his first trip to Italy and stayed in Mantua , where he became a student of Lorenzo Costa , who also introduced him to the style of Taddeo Zuccari , with whom he worked in Rome would have.

Then Hovic moved to Rome , where he met Karel van Mander . Hovic stayed there for about 11 years and was part of the group around the grotesque painter Giacomo Rosignolo . Even in Mantua, Hovic received insights into the techniques of Roman mannerism from Federico Zuccari , Federico Barocci and Marco Pino . He developed this knowledge in Rome and studied the works of Raphael and Michelangelo intensively . From 1580 to 1588 he stayed at the court of the Bishop of Bari, Antonio Puteo . There he was not only active as a painter, but also became an importer of grain from Flanders during a famine.

From 1588 the painter was again frequently employed in his hometown. Where he stayed between 1590 and 1596 is largely unknown to this day. He may have lived in Venice during this time , as his painting shows influences from Venetian painting. From 1596 he lived again in Bari, where he now settled permanently and had a flourishing workshop.
