Life
Johann de Pay, who also wrote Depay, Depey or Pey, was a son of the painter Hans Depay . He was baptized on July 28, 1614 in Riedlingen. He received his education in the Netherlands and was mainly under the influence of Anton van Dyck . From 1634, there is evidence that he stayed with relatives in Antwerp . He received his first commission from the electoral court in Munich around 1637. At that time he was not accepted into the guild, as he had applied for, but received numerous work assignments: Initially, he only had to repair paintings, but in 1638 he received fees for several portraits . In 1640 he became court painter. Two years later he settled in Augsburg .
Works
What has been preserved is a Lamentation of Christ in the Church of St. Peter in Munich, a self-portrait in Augsburg, the portrait of a man in the Germanic Museum in Nuremberg , and a portrait of a woman in the possession of the State Gallery in Stuttgart . In the church of St. Martin in Landshut there is still a choir altarpiece with an Assumption of Mary . This painting was started by de Pay in 1658 and later completed by Hieronymus Mänderlein . The Riedlinger monastery church , built in 1656, contains a high altar picture depicting the martyrdom of St. Sebastian shows. Signed with "Jo: De: Pay", this picture is possibly his last completed work.
De Pays self-portrait, in which he is holding an engraving with a rather scantily clad lady, was later reproduced by the engraver Georg Christoph Kilian .
