Jan van Aken (1614, Amsterdam – buried 25 March 1661, Amsterdam [1]) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and engraver.
[edit] BiographyVan Aken has been frequently confused with the celebrated German painter Johann van Achen of Cologne. However, it is certain that there was a Dutch artist of this name. Not much is known of his paintings but Bartsch enumerates twenty-one of his etchings, which are touched in the manner of Saftleven. They are very slight but display great mastery. Heineken describes an etching by him from his own design, which he says is very scarce. He terms it the Travellers On Horseback. It is marked "J.V Aken, inv. et fec.". Among those mentioned are six horses after Pieter van Laer[2] or Bamboccio and six views of the Rhine after Saftleven. [edit] See also
