a Flemish painter. Pieter Jan Snyers was born in Antwerp. He was the nephew of Pieter Snyers who was his teacher. He was registered as a pupil with the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1712–13. It is not clear at which date he became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke. He served five times as the deacon of the Guild. He died in Antwerp. As Pieter Jan Snyers was likely not a professional painter his works are very scarce. His subjects were hunting scenes and in particular small sized ones.
