Monte, Deodaat [Déodat; Deodatus] del [van der Mont]
(bapt St Truiden, 24 Sept 1582; d Antwerp, 24 Nov 1644). Flemish painter. He is primarily important as the earliest known pupil and assistant of Peter Paul Rubens. From a certificate drawn up for him by Rubens in 1628, it is known that in 1600 he travelled to Italy in Rubens’s service. Other documents confirm this: in 1608, for example, del Monte witnessed Rubens’s contract with the Oratorians for the execution of a ‘Nativity’, intended for the high altar of S Filippo Neri in Fermo. In October 1608 he returned to Antwerp with Rubens. Immediately after this he enrolled as a member of the Guild of St Luke.
