context_page_description: Jan, Joan, Joannes or Johan Six van Chandelier was a Dutch Golden Age poet from Amsterdam who travelled to Spa, France, Spain, Italy, and England. His collected works were republished in 1991.
  Chandelier was born in Amsterdam as the oldest of 10 children and became a dried goods merchant. For his health he travelled to Spa in 1650 and for his work he travelled farther, writing poems wherever he was. Though his poetry was not his main occupation, it seems he was appreciated by contemporaries who mentioned his works. He was friends with H.L. Spiegel and Anslo. He also wrote a 'confession' to the playwright Jan Six, regent of the heerlijkheid of Vromade and Oudscheepen for his Muiderberg, which is a reference to his friend P.C. Hooft, who lived at Muiderslot and is known for the Muiderkring of writers.
  Chandelier died in Amsterdam.
