Biography

Alexander Keirincx (Antwerp, 23 January 1600 – Amsterdam, 1652) was a Flemish landscape painter who is known for his wooded landscapes with figures as well as his 'portraits' of English castles and country houses. After training in his native Antwerp, he worked abroad and in particular in the Dutch Republic and England. During his residence in England, he worked on royal commissions for landscape paintings depicting views of the king's castles and houses in Northern England and Scotland. He was a regular collaborator of the Dutch painter Cornelis van Poelenburch.
