Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen, c 1500–1559, was a Netherlandish painter, draftsman, printmaker and tapestry designer. He was probably trained in the workshop of Jan van Scorel.
Around 1525, Vermeyen entered the service of Margaret of Austria at Mechelen. He later worked for Mary of Hungary and Emperor Charles V, whom he accompanied on the imperial expedition to Tunis in 1535.
Vermeyen produced portraits, religious paintings, prints and drawings. He is particularly known for his designs recording the Tunis campaign, which were developed into monumental tapestry cartoons for Mary of Hungary.
