Willem van Drielenburg (1632, Utrecht (city) – ca.1687, Dordrecht), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography
According to Houbraken he was a pupil of Abraham Bloemaert who later took to landscape painting in the manner of Jan Both.[1] He came to live in Dordrecht in 1668 and Houbraken became his pupil in the rampjaar 1672.[1] Houbraken didn't learn much that year, because the unrest in the city was such that Drieleburg was constantly sending him out to hear the latest news.[1] He was a very productive painter, who could even make small grisaille landscapes in brown ink or red chalk by candlelight.[1]
According to the RKD he was a landscape painter that became the teacher of Houbraken's later art teacher Wilhelmus Beurs.[2]
