a Flemish Baroque painter known for his landscapes, still lifes and religious scenes. Only a few paintings of Jan Baptist Martin Wans are known to exist. He was mainly a landscape artist but he also painted religious compositions. He is further said to have painted copies of the works of Anthony van Dyck. As a landscape painter he is regarded as a follower of Jacques d'Arthois, an exponent of the Brussels school of landscape painters. He painted italianizing landscapes as well as wooded landscapes.
