Pieter Anthonisz van Bronckhorst or Bronkhorst (16 May 1588 – 21 June 1661), was a Dutch painter active in Delft.

He was mainly an architectural painter known for his church interiors and fantasy palaces with small figures representing biblical stories.

He was born on 16 May 1588 in Delft as the son of Anthonis Pieters (van Bronckhorst), a tailor, and Machteld Dirxdr.

[1] He painted the interiors of churches, temples and palaces, which he ornamented with small figures representing historical subjects.

[3] He painted the latter work in 1620 or 1622 on a commission from the Vierschaar, the local tribunal which had its seat in the Delft City Hall, which had been rebuilt after a fire in 1618.

[4] The bible story of the judgement of Solomon was often used to illustrate the kind of wisdom judges are required to possess.

[4] His architectural works show the influence of leading perspective painter Hans Vredeman de Vries and the Flemish artist Hendrick Aerts.

The latter's only known church interior had been engraved in Delft by Flemish emigré printmaker Jan van Londerseel.
