Jordaens’ art was distinct from that of his most notable contemporaries, Rubens and Van Dyck, in that it lacked idealistic themes.
Jordaens’ influence on the Flemish artist is evident in both the style of Boeckhorst’s paintings as well as other forms of his artistic work (Ali, 648) For instance, Jordaens’ watercolor technique that he used in creating cartoons for woven tapestries was one of the skills borrowed by Boeckhorst.
Jacob Jordaens’ life was marked by numerous disputes which primarily stemmed from his support of Calvinist beliefs in Antwerp, a Catholic city.

 History of Art: Baroque and Rococo - Jacob Jordaens, Frans Hals
The colours of Jordaens' paintings are warm and glowing, his figures are robust and incline to corpulence, and their faces are red and healthy.
Jordaens' paintings are particularly noted for their strong contrasts of light and shade, their compositions crowded with figures, and an air of sensual vitality that occasionally borders on coarseness.
Jordaens declared himself converted to Calvinism in 1648 but received many commissions for Roman Catholic churches, and after the death of Rubens he was considered the greatest painter in Antwerp.

Jordaens was admitted to the Antwerp St. Luke's guild in 1615/16 as a waterschilder (tempera painter), which qualified him to paint cartoons for tapestries and wall coverings.
Jordaens was active as a portraitist, history and genre painter, and designer of tapestries, and was also a printmaker and a prolific draftsman.
Jordaens made several changes to the central design when the peripheral panel members were added: the position of the sacrificial lamb in the immediate foreground was reversed, and a balustrade and hanging rug were added to support the two figures introduced in the top section at right, replacing the semicircular niche shown in the tapestries.

17th century|Jacob Jordaens
Jordaens was the only Flemish painter apart from Van Dyck who, having assimilated Rubens overwhelming influence, went on to develop his own unmistakable style.
However, whereas Rubens sensuously heightened treatment is always idealised in the classical sense, that of Jordaens tends towards a direction only hinted at in Rubens works: the representation of a robust, often burlesque reality.
While working on the picture, Jordaens enlarged the painting, originally conceived as a much smaller work (a practice also employed by Rubens), developing it into a rich, sweeping depiction of a custom associated with Twelfth Night.

Jordaens shared a commission with Rubens for an altarpiece for the Augustinian church in Antwerp (completed in 1628).
Following the deaths of Rubens and Van Dyck in 1640 and 1641, respectively, Jordaens remained the undisputed leader of the Flemish school of painting, specialising in portraits and figure subjects, including tapestry designs, and maintaining a busy studio practice.

 Biography
Although Jordaens often assisted Rubens, he had a flourishing studio of his own by the 1620s, and after Rubens's death in 1640 he was the leading figure painter in Flanders.
His style was heavily indebted to Rubens, but was much more earthbound, using thick impasto, strong contrasts of light and shade, and colouring that is often rather lurid.
In about 1655 Jordaens became a Calvinist; he continued to paint pictures for Catholic churches, but the work of the last two decades of his life is more subdued.

 History of Art: Baroque and Rococo - Jacob Jordaens
Unlike Rubens and van Dyck, both of whom were knighted in the course of their careers, Jordaens was, in fact, completely ignored by the courts of Spain and Brussels, and he did not receive a single significant commission from Italy, France or England.
Only then did he receive royal commissions, but these came from the north, where pomp and circumstance were avoided and few demands were made in the way of Baroque perfection.
The people of the social circles in which he moved were far less demanding of life, and they manifested a certain indifference towards the values of the culturally refined.

In 1621 he became head of the Antwerp Guild and from about this time ran his own large and successful workshop, whilst at the same time working for Rubens, initially alongside van Dyck.
Rubens was undoubtedly the greatest influence on the work of Jordaens' mature period.
As with Rubens, his female figures are amply fleshed, his male figures robust and powerful looking, and yet he retains the early influence of Caravaggio in the somewhat coarser physical types he chooses and the stronger contrasts of light and shade which are so characteristic of much of his work (e.g.

 Jacob Jordaens: Hippomenes and Atalanta
The Flemish master Jacob Jordaens (the foremost painter in Antwerp after Rubens' death in 1640) was particularly gifted in portraying such "history" scenes as the story of Atalanta.
Jordaens has created beaux-ideals of youth and beauty, and heir as he was to the Renaissance traditions of vanishing perspective, he adopted the device and in fact, accentuated it.
The railings are packed with onlookers and the whole scene has the energy, vivacity, and humor that are hallmarks of Jordaens' marvelous storytelling style.

 A Particularity of Flesh -- Friday, Dec. 20, 1968 -- Page 1 -- TIME
Born in another age or in another country, Jacob Jordaens might have been considered a great painter.
Now, thanks to a splendrous 315-work display of paintings, tapestries, drawings and prints at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Jordaens is finally getting the kind of full-beam spotlight necessary to illuminate his artistic individuality in all its flaws and triumphs.
What emerges from this definitive show is that Jordaens was not just a poor man's Rubens—who in that day was the acknowledged titan who bestrode not only the narrow world of Antwerp but all the courts of Europe.

In early works (c.1612-25), such as The Artist's Family (Hermitage, St. Petersburg) and Allegory of Fertility (Brussels), he reveals the influence of Caravaggio in his firm modeling and realistically treated surface.
Works executed c.1625-35 show increased grandeur and richness (Triumph of Bacchus ; Kassel), and in the next years Rubens and Van Dyck influences are especially clear.
