(1580/81 - 1649)
Hendrick van Steenwijck the younger, painter of architectural scenes - particularly church interiors, was probably taught by his father, Hendrick van Steenwijck the elder, in Frankfurt. After his father’s death in 1603, he continued to practice in Frankfurt and Antwerp. He arrived in London in 1617, where he is thought to have married Susanna Gaspoel, also a painter. He sometimes collaborated with other artists, including Daniel Mytens. In 1627, the Painter-Stainers' Company unsuccessfully attempted to prosecute Steenwyck and other foreign artists for failing to obey company regulations. In c.1633, his portrait was drawn by van Dyck. He left England in c.1638. By 1642 he was working in Leiden. He died, probably in The Hague, in 1649.
