Pieter Cornelisz van Rijck (1567–c. 1637), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography[edit]
He was the son of the Haarlem brewer Cornelis van Rijck, brother of the Delft brewer Adriaen and a cousin of the Haarlem still life painter Floris van Dyck.[1][2]
According to Van Mander in 1604, he learned to draw from Jacob Willemsz Delff, but was meant for another profession, and spent time on other business for a few years before returning to the arts under the tutelage of Huybrecht Jacobsz Grimani for 6 months.[3] He accompanied him to Italy, where he remained for 15 years, working for local and visiting nobility all over Italy. At the time van Mander was writing, in 1602-1604, he was living in Haarlem (aged 36) and discussed Italian painters with him. Van Mander mentions a kitchen piece with a rich man and Lazarus by his hand that was painted for the Het Dolhuys and could be seen there. Van Mander called him a follower of Bassaens (Jacopo Bassano).[3]
Houbraken mentioned him as one of the important contemporary painters listed in Van Mander.[4]
According to the RKD he was registered in Venice 1588-1602, Haarlem 1602-1604, and returned to Italy in 1605. He painted portraits, kitchen pieces, and market scenes and lived in Naples 1632- 1637.[5]
