Biography
Schoonjans was born in Antwerp and became a pupil of Erasmus Quellinus II and his son Jan-Erasmus Quellinus.[1] He travelled to Rome and like his teachers had done before him, joined the Bentvueghels with the nickname "Parrhasius" in 1674.[1] In Rome he lived with Carel de Vogelaer in the Via Margutta and later he lived from 1688-89 in the Corso, near the Via di Ripetta.[1] In 1695 he became court painter in Vienna, where he later died.[1] During the course of his lengthy career he also worked in Antwerp, Riems, Lyon, Amsterdam, the Hague, Brno, Düsseldorf, Copenhagen, and Berlin.[1] He is known for portraits and historical allegories, and was the teacher of Georg Gsell.[1]
