LEEMPUT Remigius van (b. 1607, Antwerpen, d. 1675, London) Nationality : Flemish
Flemish (possibly French) painter, copyist, collector and dealer, active in England. In 1635 he was living in the newly developed area of Covent Garden, London; at that time he was closely associated with Anthony van Dyck and presumably assisted in his studio. Through his varied activities, van Leemput became a leading figure in the London art world, and he assembled a major collection of paintings and drawings. He bought extensively when Charles I's collections were sold in 1649-51; his purchases included works attributed to Titian, Giorgione, Correggio and Andrea del Sarto.
