Jacob Koninck
Edit ProfileCareer
According to Houbraken he lent his books on perspective to Johannes Verkolje, who became better than he was at perspective drawing. He was a disciple of Adriaen van de Velde who became a popular painter in Copenhagen where he painted for the court of Christian V of Denmark. He was in Dordrecht from 1633–1636, Rotterdam from 1637–1645, The Hague from 1647–1651, back in Amsterdam in 1658 (when he probably lent young Verkolje his perspective books), and moved to Denmark in 1676.
He died in Copenhagen.
