Daniël Boone

According to the artist biographer Jacob Campo Weyerman, Daniël Boone was born in 1632 in Borgerhout, a village near Antwerp.

[3] Campo Weyerman stated that Joos van Craesbeeck was Boone's master.

[4] There is no record of Boone's apprenticeship in the books of the Guilds of Saint Luke of Antwerp or Brussels.

Van Roestraeten was a painter of still lifes, originally from Haarlem but then living in Amsterdam.

[8] The Dutch engraver Jan Griffier who resided in London from 1666 is traditionally believed to have made a mezzotint portrait of Boone as a fiddle player.

As the posthumous sale of his collection was advertised in the London Gazette of 22 September 1692, Boone must have died before this date.

In these works the influence of Egbert van Heemskerk, a pupil of Pieter de Grebber was obvious.
