About Daniel Schellinks

Lived 1627 – 1701 (aged 73–74). Daniel Schellinks was a Dutch painter.

Life Daniël Schellinks was born in Amsterdam as the younger brother of Willem Schellinks. Little is known about Schellinks' life, training or artistic development. While his brother trained as an artist and specialised in atmospheric Italianate pictures, Schellinks does not appear to have had a formal artistic training.

Work Only a few works are definitively attributed to Daniël Schellinks. They are almost all based on works by his elder brother Willem. Schellinks' profession was a silk trader and he was only an amateur artist. It is believed that many of his works have been wrongly attributed to other artists. They were influenced by Italian models and attempted to capture the Mediterranean light through a colourful style of painting with delicate atmospheric effects. While a number of the Italianates visited and even worked in Italy, some never did but relied for their Italianate scenes on the works of artists who had in fact been there and had brought the Italianate style to their native country upon their return. Like his brother, Daniël also painted a few marine scenes.
