DAVID \TNCKBOONS (Mechelen 1576 — c. 1632 Amsterdam?) -a repetition after by a.
Netherlandisch painter, beginning of 17th century.
Vinckboons was pupil of his father Philip (1545—1601). Flemish by birth, he movcd with.
his family to the Northern Provinces in 1586 for reasons of faith (briefly to Middelburg,
then in 1591 to Amsterdam). Under the influence of Coninxloo, he painted landscapes po-
pulated by historical or genre figures; his genre scenes recall works by Pieter Bruegel. A high
horizon is typical of his way of building landscapes. He was also active as a draftsman and
designer of prints. Numerous repetitions in paintings and prints testify to his great renown.

mann (New York City), no. 111 in this catalogue. This painting h?.d been previously at-
tributed to A. van de Venne, but the attribution Was privatly and independently rejected
by E. Havercamp Begemann, J. Bruyn, M. Royalton-Kisch and O. Neumann, and David
Vinckboons suggested as the author. This attribution was fully p.ccepted by P. C. Sutton
in the catalogue mentioned above. To the list of repetitions Sutton added the painting in
the Goudstikker Gallcry Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1932, no. 21, traced the Slatter painting
at Sotheby's in London on June 25-th, 1969, no. 129, and recognized the painting by A. vau.
Breen as a copy as well.
The winters of 1610 and 1611 were very harsh and the canals froze over; skating and iceboat.
riding became fashionable after Prince Maurits practiced it in 1610 (cf. Maslers, op. cii.,
p. 510). The painting by Adam van Breen, dated 1611, provides a terminus anie ąuem for
the origin of the Vinckboons prototype. Our painting was probably created shortly after
this time.
