Vincent Laurenz van der Vinne

Vincent Laurensz. van der Vinne (Haarlem, October 11, 1628 – July 25, 1702) was a Northern Dutch painter and draftsman and a pupil of Frans Hals.

 

Vincent was the son of Laurens Gilles van der Vinne and Mayke Vincents Verfalje. He was married twice: first on December 24, 1656, to Anneke Jansdr. de Gaver, with whom he had three children, and on September 9, 1668, to Cathalijntje Boekaart. He was the father of Jan Vincentsz van der Vinne, Isaac van der Vinne, and Laurens van der Vinne.

 

Van der Vinne was trained by Frans Hals in 1647 and by Bernard Kemp. In 1649, he became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Haarlem. From 1652, he traveled through Germany, Switzerland, and France, returning to Haarlem on September 1, 1655. During the summer of 1680, he visited various cities in Holland and Utrecht.

 

Van der Vinne was known for his landscapes, still lifes, cityscapes, genre scenes, portraits, and architectural representations. He designed allegorical scenes for tapestries and ceiling decorations. Berkheyde referred to him as the "Raphael of signboards," suggesting that he also decorated signboards.

 

Van der Vinne trained his son Laurens Vincentsz. as an artist. Pieter van Eijse was inspired by him.
