Guilliam or Willem van Nieulandt or van Nieuwelandt[1] (1582/84–1635) was a Flemish painter, engraver, poet and playwright from Antwerp. He spent two thirds of his career in the Habsburg Netherlands and the remainder in Italy and the Dutch Republic.[2] He is known for his Italianate landscape paintings and prints, often real views or capricci of landscapes and buildings from in or around Rome enlivened by contemporary figures or biblical or mythological scenes.[3] He is regarded as the principal poet and playwright active in the Habsburg Netherlands in the first three decades of the 17th century.[2]

  1. ^ As his recurrent signature on paintings was ' G. v. Nieulant' it can be deduced that the correct form of his name is probably Guilliam van Nieulant. He signed his will with ' Giu. v. Nieulandt'. On his literary works he called himself 'van Nieuwelandt'
