Philip de Koninck, or Philips Koninck was a Dutch landscape painter and younger brother of Jacob Koninck. De Koninck was born and died in Amsterdam. Little is known of his history except that he was said to be a pupil of Rembrandt, whose influence is to be seen in much of his work. He painted chiefly broad, sunny landscapes, full of space, light and atmosphere; they are seen from a high perspective, allowing a prominent view of the sky. Portraits by him, somewhat in the manner of Rembrandt, also exist ; there are examples of these in the galleries at Copenhagen and Oslo. Of his landscapes,... the principal are View at the mouth of a river at the Hague, with a slightly larger replica in the National Gallery, London; Woodland border and countryside at Amsterdam; and landscapes in Brussels, Florence , Berlin and Cologne. Koninck, a prosperous businessman, appears to have painted few pictures during the last decade of his life.
