Daniël Schellinks

Daniël Schellinks[a] (baptized 11 November 1627 – buried 23 September 1701) was a Dutch silk trader and amateur painter and draughtsman of Italianate landscapes and marine scenes.

Schellinks' profession was a silk trader and he was only an amateur artist.

[2] Schellinks and his brother Willem form part of the Dutch landscape and genre artists active in the 16th and 17th centuries who depicted Italian scenes, either real or imaginary.

[4] They were influenced by Italian models and attempted to capture the Mediterranean light through a colourful style of painting with delicate atmospheric effects.

[2] The Dutch architectural painter Jan van der Heyden, for instance, likely never visited Italy but is believed to have used some of Daniël Schellinks' drawings for his Italianate paintings.
