Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet (born 1611/1612 in Delft ; buried on October 28, 1675 there ) was a Dutch painter of the Golden Age with the subjects of landscape , church interiors and portraits .

Live and act

His date of birth is unknown; he himself stated his age as 21 in April 1633. On April 23, 1639, he married Cornelia Marinus van der Plaet, who after the wedding moved from the nearby Choorstraat to his home on the Oude Delft, where van Vliet lived until his death. The painter Andries Corstiaensz Coninck, who died at the age of 43, also lived in this house for a while. It is uncertain whether he had any artistic influence on van Vliet. Cornelia was the daughter of Marinus van der Plaet and Trijntgen Heijnderix van Tol. Presumably the latter was the sister of the painter Hendrick Hendricksz van Tol.

Van Vliet was a student of his uncle Willem van Vliet and Michiel van Mierevelt . On June 22, 1632 he was accepted into the Guild of St. Luke in Delft on Voldersgracht .

The interiors of the Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk in Delft are frequent motifs in his paintings from 1650 onwards. Such architectural images were extremely popular at that time, but only a few artists like Pieter Jansz. Saenredam , Emanuel de Witte and Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet mastered the reproduction of light-flooded church interiors in this perfection.

Most of his pictures are unsigned. His architectural pictures are among the best Dutch works of this kind and can be found in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam ( Gezicht in de Oude kerk de Delft , 1654).

Little is known about his family situation. Although he painted Protestant churches with devotion, he was probably a Catholic himself. He had several children. One was buried in the Delft Oude Kerk in 1641 , and possibly another in 1652. After van Vliet's wife died in 1681, his daughter Catharina inherited a small inheritance. Van Vliet himself died in 1675 and was buried in the Oude Kerk in Delft.
