Jan Boeckhorst was a multifaceted artist who produces historical paintings on religious and mythological themes, figurative works, genre scenes, and portraits. Boeckhorst has also worked as a designer for tapestry projects. He is known to have designed eight tapestries on Apollo's myths and also designed for publishers in Antwerp. There are only three of his signed and dated pictures and five only dated. Because of the small number of signed paintings, it is difficult to locate Bockhorst's works with certainty, and some attributes are disputed amongst art historians. As was common practice among artists in Antwerp, Boeckhorst often collaborated as an artist with landscape designers Jan Wildens and Jan Brueghel the Younger. Boeckhorst may also have collaborated with Frans Snyders for garland paintings. This genre was initially related to the visual images of the Counter-Reformation Movement and usually involved collaboration between a pictorial artist and a still-life artist. Since the late 1650s, Bockhorst's cooperation with other artists seems to have been suspended.

Foreword
Jan Boeckhorst is a Flemish Baroque artist born in Germany. He was born in Münster, Westphalia. His father was for a while a mayor of Münster. Jan stepped into the Jesuit Order at the age of 17 and began his art training when he was about twenty-two. Later, he moved to Antwerp where he trained with Peter Paul Rubens. Here he also briefly learned with Jordaens during Rubens' stay in London.
From 1626 to 1635, Boeckhorst worked on a commission paid by a godly merchant to complete 26 works for a chapel at the Falcon Monastery in the center of Antwerp.
Between 1627 and 1632 he worked closely with Anthony van Dyck. The two artists collaborated in separate works of art, while Boeckhorst also made copies after paintings by van Dyck.
Jan Boeckhorst became master of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1633-1634. He was a regular associate of Rubens in the mid-1930s. He painted Rubens decorations after Rubens oil sketches.
In 1639 Boeckhorst traveled to Italy where he lived in Rome. In Rome, he probably joined the circle of Dutch and Flemish artists there, known as the Bentvueghels. They had the custom of accepting a nickname, and he was "Dr. Faustus."
The date of his return to Antwerp is unknown. He completed several unfinished works by Rubens after Rubens' death in 1640. After returning to Antwerp, he received numerous orders from religious institutions in Flanders.
