Hendrick Danckerts
(b The Hague, 1625; d Amsterdam, 1680). Dutch painter and engraver, active in Italy and England. He was the son of Johannes Danckerts the elder and the younger brother of the engraver Johannes Danckerts the younger (1615-c. 1681/7). From 1645 to 1653 he worked in The Hague, where he became a master in 1651. After 1653 he travelled to Italy. He was accompanied on his journey by van Steenvoorde, the student of his brother Johannes. In Rome they came into contact with those artists known as the DUTCH ITALIANATES. Their manner of depicting the Roman campagna in luminous colours and their landscape motifs recur constantly in the work of Danckerts.
