Pieter van der Borcht (III)

Pieter van der Borcht (III) (c. 1589–1662) was a Flemish painter and draftsman.

Pieter van der Borcht was born and died in Brussels, according to 17th-century Flemish art historian Cornelis de Bie's work on painters called Het Gulden Cabinet.

[2] He was a pupil of the prominent Brussels painter of landscapes and civil celebrations Denis van Alsloot from 1604.

[1] Cornelis de Bie states that van der Borcht first painted figures, then switched to landscapes.

[1] A Forest landscape formerly in the Castle Rájec nad Svitavou, Czech Republic where it was attributed to Hendrik van der Borcht the elder, was re-attributed to Pieter van der Borcht (III) by art historian Marijke C. de Kinkelder in 2001.
