Bartholomeus Breenbergh (* before November 13, 1598 in Deventer , † after October 5, 1657 in Amsterdam ) was a Dutch painter and etcher.

Act

Breenbergh went to Rome around 1620 , where he became the pupil of the painter Paul Bril . Judging by his artistic work, Breenbergh was also greatly influenced by Cornelis van Poelenburgh and Adam Elsheimer . With Poelenburg, as well as with Elsheimer, Breenbergh created several paintings, but very few of them still exist.

Breenbergh returned to the Netherlands between 1627 and 1628 and settled in Amsterdam in 1633. There he married Rebecca Schellingwouw on August 27, 1633; the Amsterdam preacher Anthonis Schellingwouw became his brother-in-law. In his studio, Breenbergh also made friends with his colleague Pieter Potter .

In 1644 the painter Jacob Adriaensz created. Backer presented a portrait of Breenbergh, which was falsely shown as a self-portrait of Backer at an exhibition in The Hague in 1903 . Only much later could the correct person be verified.

The painter Bartholomeus Breenbergh died in Amsterdam in 1663 at the age of about 60.

The engravers and etchers Johannes de Bisshop , Gabriel Huquier , Pieter Nolpe and M. Schaep created some of their works after paintings by Breenbergh.

The artists LM Bacheley , Claude Victor de Boissieu , Thérèse Chenu (with her siblings Victoire and Pierre ), Jean Louis Daudet and others were in part very much influenced by Breenbergh's artistic work.
