Adriaen van der Cabel
Adriaen van der Cabel or Ary van der Touw (1631 - June 16, 1705), was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter active in France and Italy.
[edit] Biography
He was born and grew up in the small town of Rijswijk, near The Hague. Cabel was also known as Ary. According to Houbraken, he was a student of Jan van Goyen, and his real name was van der Touw (English: "of String"), but that wasn't grand enough according to Van Goyen, so he changed it to mean "of Cable".[1] Houbraken wrote that his brother Engel was also a painter, and that Adriaen was already living in Lyon when Johannes Glauber made his grand tour. Cabel moved to Lyon as a young man and spent the rest of his life there.
According to the RKD, he is registered in Rome in the years 1655-1658, after which period he moved to Lyons.[2] His bentname was Geestigheid.[2] His work is sometimes confused with that of his brother Engel van der Cabel (1641-after 1695), also known as Ange or Angelo. Engel accompanied his brother on his travels and they both married on the same day.[2] Like his brother, Engel became a member of the Bentvueghels with the nickname Corydon, and he moved with him to Lyons, where in the year 1672, he became a 'Maître-Garde' of the Guild of Saint Luke there.[3]
