van den Bergh (1618 in Ypres – 1687 in Alkmaar), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
According to Houbraken, his father Jan van den Bergh was a painter from Alkmaar in the service of Rubens in Ypres, where Matthias was born.
[1] Houbraken claimed Jan van den Berg had been a pupil of Hendrick Goltzius before moving to Brabant and later working for Rubens.
[1] Young Matthias learned to paint from his father and went to work in Rubens' workshop.
[2] He painted portraits, soldiers, and historical allegories, and is not to be confused with the contemporary Delft painter Mattheus Gillisz van den Berch (c1608-1687).
