Jacques de Saint-Luc

Jacques de Saint-Luc (baptized 19 September 1616 – c. 1710) was a Flemish lutenist and composer. Saint-Luc was born in Ath in 1616; nothing is known about his early years. In 1639 he was invited to become a musician at the court in Brussels, and two years later he had his portrait painted by Gerard Seghers. He moved to Paris in mid- or late 1640s, but returned to Brussels in October 1647. The composer evidently spent the next few decades in Brussels, marrying in 1658.
