JAR'DYN, or Jardin (Karel du), painter of conver¬ 
sations, landfcapes, &c. was born at Amllerdam in 164.6, 
,and became a difciple of Nicholas Berchem. He travelled 
to Italy whilll he was yet a young man ; and, arriving at 
Rome, he gave liimfelf up alternately to lludy and dilfi- 
pation. Yet, amidll this irregularity of conduft, his pro¬ 
ficiency in the art was furprifing; and his paintings rofe 
into fuch high repute, that they were exceedingly coveted 
in Rome, and bought up at great prices. With an in¬ 
tention to vifit his native city, he at lalt left Rome; but, 
palling through Lyons, and meeting fome agreeable com¬ 
panions, they prevailed on him to Hay there for fome 
time ; and he found as much employment in that city as 
he could pofiibly undertake or execute. But the profits 
which arofe from his paintings were not proportionable 
to his profufion; and, in order to extricate himfelf from 
the encumbrances in which his extravagance had involved 
him, he was induced to marry his holtefs, who was old 
and difagreeable, but very rich. Mortified and alhamed 
of that adventure, he returned as expeditioully as pofiible 
to Amllerdam, accompanied by his wife, and there for 
fome time fdllowed his profelfion with full as much fuc¬ 
cefs as he had met with in Italy or Lyons. He returned 
to Rome the fecond time; and after a year or two fpent 
there in his ufual extravagant manner, he fettled at Venice. 
In that city his merit was well known before his arrival, 
which procured him a very honourable reception. He 
lived there highly carelfed, and continually employed ; 
but died at the age of thirty-eight. He was fumptuoully 
interred, out of refpedr to his talents; and, although a 
,-proteftant, permitted to be laid in confecrated ground.
