Who is Hendrick van der Burgh?

Hendrick van der Burgh (1627 – after 1664), was a Dutch Golden Age genre painter.

According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD) he was born in Delft and was a enthusiast of the same “school” or artistic style as Pieter de Hooch, showing easy intimate scenes of daily vigor in towns. Though no evidence for such a teacher exists, the artists whose works slip into this category are considered by the RKD to be Esaias Boursse, Hendrick van der Burgh, Pieter de Hooch, Pieter Janssens Elinga, Cornelis de Man, Hendrick ten Oever, and Jacob Vrel. The year and place of his death is vague but is assumed to be Delft or Leiden after 1664. He is registered in Leiden in 1658-1659 and in Delft in 1664. He is known for prints and portraits, with the monogram “HVB”.
