Jan Spangaert [Spangiaert] / Jan Spanjaert (c. 1590-Before 1664). Genre painter, possibly the monogrammist I.S. In Guild in 1632.

Born in Amsterdam, moved to Delft and when he married in 1633 he bought a house on south side of Rietveld for 850 guilders. In 1637 he bought Het Gulden Hackmes (The Gilded Chopper / Meat Axe), south side of Rietveld; sold one of these houses for 400 guilders in 1650.
