Otto van Veen is a painter, master of the drawings and a humanist, mostly active in Antwerp and Brussels at 16th and the beginning of the seventeenth century. He was famous for managing a large studio in Antwerp, which produces multiple emblems and coats of arms, and that he was a teacher of Peter Paul Rubens. His role as a classically educated humanist has strongly influenced the young Rubens, who later took on this role.
