Warnard van Rijsen

Warnard van Rijsen (1625, Zaltbommel, Netherlands – 1670, Spain), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

According to Houbraken, he was a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburch, who was born in Zaltbommel and travelled to Italy as a young man.

When he returned, he set up a workshop in Zaltbommel, where he taught the painter Gerard Hoet.

In his biography of Van Poelenburch, Houbraken claimed that after teaching Hoet, he became a jeweller who travelled to Spain, where he later died.

[1] According to the RKD, he was in Zaltbommel from 1664–1665, though it is possible that he lived there in smaller quarters for some time longer before moving to Spain.
