Uden, Lucas van

Uden, Lucas van (b Antwerp, 18 Oct. 1595; d Antwerp, 4 Nov. 1672).
Flemish landscape painter and engraver, active mainly in his native Antwerp. The long-standing tradition that he worked in Rubens's studio and painted landscape backgrounds for him is now discredited, but he was certainly strongly influenced by the master. His pictures are often large and have something of Rubens's sweep and richness. The figures were often added by other artists.
