Adriaen van Nieulandt the Younger (1587-1658) and Willem van Nieulandt the Younger (1584-1635) were sons of the artist Adriaen van Nieulandt the Elder, who had moved his family from Antwerp to Amsterdam in 1589 when both brothers were in their infancy. Their father's motives for resettling in Holland are thought to have been both religious (to avoid persecution as Protestants) and economic (with the Amsterdam art market of the time offering more stability). Willem trained with Roelant Savery, then studied in Rome with Paul Bril early in the new century, learning to exploit the bottomless appetite of the era for views of antique ruins and artifacts. Adriaen remained in Amsterdam, training with local artists in traditional genres of still life, portraiture and narrative. A third brother, Jacob, also became a painter, but little of his work appears to have survived.
