Biography Portrait of Maria Duyst van Voorhout, founder of the Fundatie van Renswoude, ca. 1685-1690 He was registered in the Utrecht Guild of St. Luke in 1668 and in 1669 he was registered in the Confrerie Pictura in The Hague, where he married Johanna van Heusden and worked on portraits for the elite there. According to Houbraken he was born in Utrecht. Because he signed a few paintings with 'Joh. Haensbergh Gorco fecit', which led some art historians to conclude he was from Gorinchem and others that he worked there for a while. He was a student of Cornelius van Poelenburgh, and though he was quite successful in imitating his master's style of landscape painting, he switched to portraits since he could make a comfortable living making flattering ladies portraits that made their skin look whiter.

His landscapes show the influence of Poelenburgh and his portraits show the influence of Caspar Netscher.
