Anthonie Jansz. van der Croos (1606 - 1662)

Anthonie Jansz. van der Croos

Anthonie Jansz. van der Croos was a Dutch painter and draughtsman of the Golden Age of Dutch painting. He mainly painted landscapes, often in combination with castles or country houses, as well as cityscapes. He was a pupil of Moyses van Uyttenbroeck.

Antoni Jans van der Kroes lived and worked in The Hague from 1634. He became a member of the local St. Luke's Guild in 1647. He was a neighbour of Jan van Goyen, whose work had a great influence on him, so much so that their works were sometimes confused with each other.

In 1656 he became co-founder and secretary of the Confrerie Pictura in The Hague.
