Dirck van der Lisse

1607 – 1669

Dutch painter and draughtsman. He was a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburgh c. 1630. In 1635 the Stadholder, Prince Frederik Hendrik of Orange Nassau, commissioned him, along with van Poelenburgh, Abraham Bloemaert and Herman Saftleven, to paint a cycle of scenes based on Giovanni Battista Guarini's Il pastor fido for the restored hunting castle at Honselaarsdijk. In 1639 van der Lisse moved to The Hague, where he was a founder-member of the painters' confraternity Pictura in 1656; he became Burgomaster of the city in 1660.
