Peter Danckerts de Rij

He was the son of Cornelis Danckerts de Ry, member of a large family of printers, painters and engravers.

[2] Since Filippo Baldinucci later wrote a biographical sketch on Pietro Danckerse de Ry in his list of artists called the Notizie,[3] it is possible that Danckerts visited Italy at some time.

The story that he died in August 1661 as the result of a highway robbery in the Rūdninkai Forest near Vilnius involves an unnamed artist aged 78, while Danckerts would have been 55.

[1] In 1634 Peter painted pendant portraits of his parents, his father Cornelis the painter and his mother.
