Hendrick de Clerck
Southern Netherlands, 1560–1630
Hendrick de Clerck was a Southern Netherlands Early Baroque Italian painter. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings. Hendrick de Clerck was born in Brussels metropolitan area.
Hendrick de Clerck (c. 1560 – 27 August 1630) was a Flemish painter active in Brussels during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Stylistically he belongs to the late Mannerist generation of artists preceding Peter Paul Rubens and the Flemish Baroque, and his paintings are very similar to his contemporary Marten de Vos. His exact date of birth is unknown, but in 1594 he is employed as court painter to Archduke Ernest, a position he continued to hold in the service of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella following Ernest's death in 1596.
