The Life and Travels of Lucas van Valckenborch
Born in Leuven, Habsburg Netherlands, Lucas van Valckenborch was a member of a prominent Flemish family of artists. He entered the painters' guild of Mechelen in 1560, where he learned the technique of watercolour. His career was marked by significant movement; following the iconoclastic fury of 1566, he and his brother Marten left Antwerp, seeking refuge in Aachen and Germany.
