Biography

Danckerts was born in The Hague, where he learned his trade and remained until 1653.^[1] He visited England for the first time in 1650.^[1] In 1653 he went to Italy, where he stayed for five years.^[1] He then moved to England where he entered the service of Charles II and the Duke of York. He painted Italianate landscapes, especially views of harbors and royal residences.^[1] He also produced portraits and devotional pictures and made engravings after the Italian old masters in the Royal Collection. He left England in 1679^[1] due to the public hostility towards Roman Catholics after the Popish Plot controversy. He died soon after in Amsterdam.^[1]

He was also known as the "Master with the two Anchors" and was the younger brother of the painter Johan Danckerts.^[1] Danckerts has twenty painting in public ownership in the United Kingdom.^[2]
