David Vinckboons was born in Mechelen in Flanders as the son of the miniature painter Philipp Vinckboons, who was also his first teacher . With his father he came to Antwerp as a boy and to Amsterdam in 1591 at the latest. Vinckboons painted many small landscapes, mostly with biblical themes, and large genre pictures in the tradition of Jan Brueghel the Elder . So he created rustic and colorful social items from the life of his country such as a farmers' fair, weddings, parish festivals and hunts. Vinckboons was a mannerist , but he is considered a forerunner of the Dutch school of realists of the 17th century . His sons included the watercolor painter Johannes (* around 1616; † 1670) and the architects Justus (* around 1620; † around 1698) and Philips Vingboons (* around 1607; † 1678).
