Garemijn [Garemyn], Jan Antoon [Joannes Antonius]
(b Bruges, 15 April 1712; d Bruges, 23 June 1799). Flemish painter and draughtsman. He was apprenticed to Roch Aerts (d ?1721/39), continued his training at the Bruges Académie and later studied with Louis Roose (1701–65) and the sculptor Hendrik Pulinx. However, his characteristic style, evident from 1730, owed most to Jacob Beernaert. Matthias de Visch (1702–65), whom he succeeded as director of the Académie, introduced Garemijn to the graceful Italian style and to the mannered drawing-room scenes typical of the French masters Antoine Watteau and François Boucher.
