"The son of the nobleman Librecht van Thielen, Lord of Couwenberg, and Anna Rigouldts, Jan Philip van Thielen was baptized in the Church of San Rombaut in Mechelen on 1 April 1618. . . . In 1631/32 the register of the Antwerp Saint Luke's Guild describes Van Thielen as a pupil of his future brother-in-law, the history painter Theodoor Rombouts. Van Thielen's career as a flower painter seems to have begun when Daniel Seghers accepted him as a student, which must have occurred shortly before he [Van Thielen] became a master in Saint Luke's Guild in 1641/42. Van Thielen's depictions of bouquets, garlands, and festoons consistently resemble those of Seghers. Also like Seghers, the younger artist regularly collaborated with other Antwerp painters, typically creating garlands to surround their vignettes or cartouches."
