Jan van Troyen

Jan van Troyen (1610 – 1670) was a Southern Netherlands engraver for David Teniers the Younger in Brussels, who made significant contributions to his Theatrum Pictorium.

He accompanied Teniers to Vienna after the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm returned there in 1658. He was there presumably to make engravings after paintings in the Archduke's cabinet that were to be published in the 1673 version. He is last recorded in Brussels in 1670 and 1671.

Most of his works are engravings of Italian paintings in the Archduke's cabinet. He was possibly related to the painter of Italianate landscapes Rombout van Troyen.
