Hendrick Danckerts (c.1625 - 1680) was aDutch Golden Age painter and engraver, mostly of houses in their landscape settings.[1] After some years in Italy, he spent most of his career in London, working for Charles II and his brother.
Danckerts was born inThe Hague, where he learned his trade and remained until 1653.[2] He visitedEngland for the first time in 1650.[2] In 1653 he went to Italy, where he stayed for five years.[2] He then moved to England where he entered the service ofCharles II and theDuke of York (laterJames II & VII.) He painted Italianate landscapes, especially views of harbours and royal residences.[2] He also produced portraits and devotional pictures and made engravings after the Italianold masters in theRoyal Collection. He left England in 1679[2] due to the public hostility towards Roman Catholics after thePopish Plot controversy. He died soon after inAmsterdam, and was buried on 2 November 1680.[2]
He was also known as the "Master with the two Anchors" and was the younger brother of the painterJohan Danckerts.[2] Danckerts has twenty paintings in public ownership in the United Kingdom.[3]
