List of Dutch painters
This is a list of Dutch painters who were born and/or were primarily active in the Netherlands. For artists born and active in the Southern Netherlands, see the List of Flemish painters.

Frans reportedly studied with the Mannerist painter and writer on art Karel van Mander I (–), probably about – He joined the Haarlem painters’ guild in and

Landscape painters in the second half of the 17th century
The landscape painters who made their way to England at this time can best be divided into two categories on the grund of their activities: on the one hand, those travelling around for their own education and pleasure who made sketches in England and, on the other, pure landscapists, vedute painters and animal-landscape artists, although the boundaries between the two categories are quite fluid.1 The first group includes Lambert Doomer () and Willem Schellinks (), both of whom were travelling artists par excellence.2 Their drawings of English ports are now in the so-called Atlas Blaeu (or rather Atlas van der Hem) in Vienna [1] together with views Schellinks made of Cambridge [2], Winchester [3], Salisbury [4] and other places in the s. The British Museum has other works from the journey Schellinks undertook through England, almost all of which have a place name, one sheet being dated Many drawings arose du
