GRAYER, GASPARD DE (1582-166g), Flemish painter, was born at Antwerp, Nov. 18, 1582, and was a pupil of Raphael Coxcie. He matriculated in the guild of St. Luke at Brussels in 1607, resided in the capital of Brabant till after 166o, and finally settled at Ghent. Amongst the numerous pictures which he painted in Ghent, one in the museum represents the martyrdom of St. Blaise, and bears the inscription A° 1668 aet. 86. His pic tures abound in the churches and museums of Brussels and Ghent; and there is scarcely a country chapel in Flanders or Brabant that cannot boast of one or more of his works. Some important pic tures are to be found at Aix in Provence and at Amberg in the Upper Palatinate. Crayer died at Ghent on Jan. 27, 166g. His best works may be seen in the galleries of Brussels, Ghent, the Louvre, the Munich Pinakothek, and the Belvedere at Vienna. His portrait by Van Dyck was engraved by P. Pontius.
