According to Houbraken Jan and Jacob Pynas were good at landscapes and figures, but Jan was better than Jacob.[1] Jan travelled to Italy in 1605 with Pieter Lastman where they spent several years practising art after the great Italian masters.[1]
The works of the Pynas brothers are close in style to the painter Adam Elsheimer, and there has been a history of mis-attribution between the three, where both of the Pynas brothers are known to have signed their works "J. Pynas."[3]
Jan died in Amsterdam; Jacob survived him by many years and is thought to have died in Delft.
