Daniël van den Bremden

Daniël van den Bremden was an artist whose documented professional activity is confined to a brief period in the 1620s, with works dating between 1624 and 1630. His known output consists primarily of prints, five of which are represented in major international institutional holdings.

The subjects captured in these works range from allegorical and seasonal depictions, such as Lente (Spring) and Zomer (Summer), to specific historical documentation, notably The Triumphal Car of Prince Hendrik of Orange. Other works, like Het vangen van apen (The catching of monkeys), suggest an engagement with genre or natural history subjects.

Daniël van den Bremden prints are preserved in museum-quality collections worldwide, including the Rijksmuseum and the Art Institute of Chicago. The presence of these works in such collections establishes the artist's standing in 17th-century European printmaking. Today, many of these historical documents are in the public domain, allowing for widespread study of the artist’s brief, documented career.
