Biography

According to Houbraken he was a multi-talented son and pupil of the painter and architect Salomon de Bray.[1] He was known as a flower painter, but he could also sculpt.[1] He carved a wooden bust of his father's head, that Houbraken admired and used for his engraving of Salomon in his "Schouburg".[1] He became a monk in the Gaesdonck monastery near Goch.[1] He became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1671.[2] Dirck was born into an artistic family. His brother Jan became a well known painter, and his brother Joseph was also a painter. [2] His sister Cornelia married Jan Lievens. His mother was Anna Westerbaen, the sister of the painter Jan Westerbaen, and the poet Jacob Westerbaen. He was a printmaker and painted flower- and hunting still lifes.[2] After 1678 he moved to the Gaesdonck monastery.[2]
