          • In the 1760s, he began his formal training with decorative painter Willem Jacob Herreyns (also known as Guillaume-Jacques Herreyns) in Antwerp. This early exposure shaped his meticulous attention to detail and refined technique.

          Move to Paris and Royal Appointment

          • In 1769, Van Spaendonck relocated to Paris, a pivotal move that launched his international career.
          • 1774: He was appointed as a miniature painter at the court of Louis XVI, marking a significant step in his recognition and patronage.
