"Willem van Nieulandt the Younger (1584-1635) appears in Karel van Mander's Schilderboeck of 1604 as a pupil of Paul Bril's in Rome, 'And for a year he had as his pupil Guilliaem van Nieuwlandt, of Antwerp, 22 years of age, presently living in Amsterdam, who took on his master's manner very naturally.' When he was 4 years old Willem moved with his parents to Amsterdam, where he was apprenticed to Jacob Savery in 1599. . . . In 1602, at the age of 18, Willem van Nieulandt was living in the Via Paolina in Rome with his uncle of the same name. The elder Van Nieulandt, an artist born in Antwerp in 1560, had arrived in Rome on 22 October 1597 and was to live there until his death on 31 March 1626. There are no known surviving works by this artist. . . . The younger Van Nieulandt's earliest dated drawings are from 1603, almost all topographical views of Rome. . . . Like his drawings, the artist's paintings and prints have not been subjected to serious study. Willem produced more than 114 prints. Most of them state that they were published in Antwerp, where he was working between 1605 and 1629. Four prints of views of Rome were made after drawings by Matthijs Bril, although his name is not mentioned on them. There is also a series of prints on which Paul Bril is credited as the inventor, but the majority of the drawings that served as the designs for them were by Willem van Nieulandt, not Bril. . . . Some time after 25 August 1629 Willem returned to Amsterdam, where he died at the end of 1635."
