Abraham van Dijck (June 1635 in Amsterdam – 27 August 1680 in Dordrecht),[1][2] was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

Biography

[edit]

According to the RKD he was a Rembrandt pupil based on the style Rembrandt was using in the 1650s.[2] His earliest works are dated 1655. Though he is registered as working in Dordrecht and clearly was in Amsterdam, he is also registered in Alkmaar in 1659.[2] Besides Rembrandt, his works show the influence of Gabriël Metsu, Caspar Netscher and Quiringh Gerritsz van Brekelenkam.[2]

There is a fine painting by Abraham Van Dijk in the Brigham Young University Museum of Art in Provo, Utah ("Tobias Leaving His Parents").[need quotation to verify]
