Dyck, Daniel van den
(b Antwerp, c. 1610; d Mantua, 1670). Flemish painter and etcher, active in Italy. He was apprenticed to Peter Verhaecht (d c. 1652) in the guild year 1631–2 and by 1633 or 1634 was a fully qualified master. Of five portraits in Bergamo (Accad. Carrara B.A.) attributed to him, at least the three dated ones (1633) are unlikely to be by him, since van den Dyck did not leave Antwerp for Italy before late September 1633. In 1634 he settled in Venice, where he married Lucretia, daughter of the painter Nicolas Régnier. With his brother-in-law Pietro Muttoni (della Vecchia) (1605–78), he painted wall decorations in the Palazzo Pesaro in Preganziol. The frescoes (in situ) in the Villa Vernier-Contarini-Zen at Mira, near Venice, depicting scenes from the Legend of Psyche have also been attributed to him. His style was influenced by Rubens, as can be seen from his Martyrdom of St Laurence (Venice, Madonna dell’Orto).
