Peter Danckerts de Rij

Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth · 1605–1661

Pieter, Peeter, or Peter Danckerts de Rij, Dankers de Ry, or Peteris Dankersas. was a Dutch Golden Age painter mostly active in the Polish, Lithuanian Commonwealth and Sweden. == Life and career == He was the son of Cornelis Danckerts de Ry, member of a large family of printers, painters and engravers. Cornelis is mentioned in Houbraken's Schouburg as being one of the many teachers of Joachim von Sandrart in 1640-41, though considering Sandrart's age and experience (he had just returned to the North from his Grand Tour to Italy), this was more of a collaboration. Since Filippo Baldinucci later wrote a biographical sketch on Pietro Danckerse de Ry in his list of artists called the Notizie, it is possible that Danckerts visited Italy at some time.
