Egbert van Heemskerck

Egbert van Heemskerck

Egbert van Heemskerck (or "Heemskerk") is the name of two Dutch painters, father and son, of the 17th and early 18th century. More is known about Sr. than Jr., but they are frequently mixed up and attempts to distinguish the work of father and son, where they overlap, have not yet been successful as well. An even older Egbert van Heemskerk, often reported to have lived from 1610-1680, may not have existed.

"Egbert Jaspersz van Heemskerck" or "Egbert van Heemskerck the Elder" (1634, Haarlem - 1704, London) was a member of the Haarlem artist's guild as early as 1646 and probably became a student of Pieter de Grebbe. He may have traveled to Italy in 1655. He lived in Haarlem until 1663, after which he resided mostly in Amsterdam, but was also reported working in The Hague and Weesp. In the early 1680s he moved to London, where one of his often satirical paintings apparently got him in serious trouble with king Charles II. His son, "Egbert van Heemskerck the Younger" was born in the late 1660s or 1670s and died in 1744, the locations apparently unknown.

Their paintings are exhibited, amongst others, in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Louvre in Paris, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tournai, the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
