Jan Wandelaar (14 April 1690, Amsterdam - 26 March 1759, Leiden), was an 18th-century painter, illustrator and engraver from the Dutch Republic.
Wandelaar trained under Jacob Folkema, Gillem van der Gouwen, and Gérard de Lairesse, and made a name in anatomical art after drawing for Fredrik Ruysch. He was due to work for Arend Cant who died before work could begin.[1] According to Johan van Gool he engraved paintings by Huchtenburg.[2]
According to the RKD he was a pupil of Johannes Jacobsz Folkema, Gilliam van der Gouwen, and Gerard de Lairesse.[3] He became the teacher of Pieter Lyonet and Abraham Delfos.[3]
Furthermore, he illustrated and engraved the images for Bernhard Siegfried Albinus's Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani which included illustrations of the rhinoceros Clara on the background.
