Jan and Jacob van Huchtenburg were two Dutch Golden Age painters in the second half of the seventeenth century. Both brothers moved to Paris, but died in Amsterdam; the main source about their lives is from Arnold Houbraken. Some of the information from the 19th century is contradictive. Jacob van Huchtenburg studied under Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem. In 1662 he went to Italy and stayed in Rome until 1667. On his way back to Holland he stayed in Paris for more than a year, where he met up with his brother Jan. In 1669 he joined the Haarlem artists' guild, his pictures are confounded with those of his brother. He lived on Prinsengracht. One is in the Brukenthal Sibiu. Jan van Huchtenburg, was a famous Dutch horse and battle painter, like Esaias van de Velde and Philip Wouwermans, he was first taught by Thomas Wijck. On his way to visit his brother in Rome, he may not have got further than Paris, where he served under Antony Francis van der Meulen in the Manufacture des Gobelins employing him for illustrating, sketching or designing.

In 1670 he settled at Haarlem. It seems he kept a dealers shop in Haarlem or in the Hague, his style had now merged into an imitation of Wouwerman and Van der Meulen, which could not fail to produce pretty pictures of hunts and robber camps, the faculty of painting horses and men in action and varied dress being the chief point of attraction. Huchtenburg painted his people and horses. Huchtenburg ventured on cavalry skirmishes and engagements of regular troops and these were admired by Prince Eugene of Savoy and King William III, who gave the painter sittings, commissioned him to throw upon canvas the chief incidents of the battles they fought upon the continent of Europe; when he died at Bloemgracht in the Jordaan in 1733, Huchtenburg had done much by his pictures and prints to make Prince Eugene, King William and Marlborough popular. Though clever in depicting a mile or a skirmish of dragoons, he remained second to Philip Wouvermans in accuracy of drawing, inferior to Van der Meulen in the production of landscapes.

But he was a clever and spirited master, with great facility of hand and considerable natural powers of observation. The earliest date on his pictures is 1674, when he executed the Stag-Hunt in the Museum of Berlin, the Fight with Robbers in the Liechtenstein Museum at Vienna. A Skirmish at Fleurus in the Brussels gallery seems but the precursor of larger and more powerful works, such as the Siege of Namur in the Belvedere at Vienna, where William III is seen in the foreground accompanied by Max Emmanuel, the Bavarian elector. Three years before, Huchtenburg had had sittings from Prince Eugene and William III. After 1696 he served as court painter to Prince Eugene, we have at Galleria Sabauda a series of ten or eleven canvases, all of the same size depicting the various battles of the great hero, commencing with the Battle of Zenta, Battle of Chiari, Battle of Luzzara, Battle of Blenheim, Battle of Cassano, Battle of Turin, Battle of Oudenaarde, Battle of Malplaquet, Battle of Petrovaradin ending with the Battle of Belgrade.

Had the Duke of Marlborough been fond of art he would doubtless have possessed many works of our artist. All that remained in 1911 at Blenheim Palace, was a couple of sketches of battles, which were sent to Churchill by his great contemporary. In 1911, the pictures of Huchtenburg were not numerous in public galleries. There was one in the National Gallery, another at the Louvre, but Copenhagen had four, Dresden six, Gotha two, Munich had the well-known composition of Tallart taken Prisoner at Blenheim in 1704.
