Frederick Valckenborch, Dutch, (1566 — 1623). Frederick Valckenborch (also
Valkenborch or Valkenborgh) was a painter and draughtsman and son of Marten van
Valckenborch I (1534 - 1612). Both were members of a family of Netherlandish landscape and
genre painters, the most important members of which were Lucas (c. 1535-1597) and his
younger brother Marten.
Of the 14 known painters in the family, only Marten, his brother Lucas and Marten's sons
Frederik and Gillis (Egidius) (1570-1622) have so far been identified as significant from
surviving works.
