Willem van Drielenburg

Willem van Drielenburg (1632, Utrecht – c. 1687, Dordrecht), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

According to Arnold Houbraken he was a pupil of Abraham Bloemaert who later took to landscape painting in the manner of Jan Both.

[1] He came to live in Dordrecht in 1668 and Houbraken became his pupil in the Rampjaar 1672.

[1] Houbraken didn't learn much that year, because the unrest in the city was such that Drieleburg was constantly sending him out to hear the latest news.

[1] He was a very productive painter, who could even make small grisaille landscapes in brown ink or red chalk by candlelight.
