Pieter Jan Snyers was born in Antwerp. [1] He was the nephew of Pieter Snyers who was his teacher. [2] He was registered as a pupil of Pieter Snyers at the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1712–13. He was not registered as master at the guild as he was an amateur painter. [1] He served five times as the deacon of the Guild. [3]
When his uncle Pieter Snyers died in 1752, Pieter Jan inherited his large collection of art which included works of major artists of the preceding century. [4] As heir to his considerable art collection which was fairly well documented, Snyers' name regularly appears as one of the names in the provenance of Flemish and Dutch master paintings. [5]
He died in Antwerp. [1]
As Pieter Jan Snyers was likely not a professional painter his works are very scarce. His subjects were hunting scenes and in particular small sized ones. [6]
