VERBOOM, Adriaen Hendricksz.
(b. ca. 1628, Rotterdam, d. 1673, Rotterdam)

Biography

Dutch painter. He was the older brother and teacher of Willem Hendricksz Verboom (c. 1640-1718). He worked in Haarlem from 1650 and in Amsterdam from 1661 and is known for Italianate landscapes in the manner of Jacob van Ruisdael. He seems to have spent a long period in Amsterdam, where his works appeared in inventories. After his wife died in 1667 he returned to Rotterdam, where he later died.

He was documented as a good draughtsman who painted tiles and made etchings, as well as paintings. The Rijksmuseum has several of his drawings and etchings.
