Hendrik de Winter

Hendrik de Winter was an artist active during the second quarter of the 18th century, with documented works spanning the years 1727 through 1745. His known output consists primarily of detailed topographical drawings, focusing on architectural landmarks, city gates, and defensive structures within the Netherlands.

The documented drawings demonstrate a meticulous approach to architectural documentation, serving as historical records of structures in cities like Oudewater and Haarlem. Examples of his surviving work include De Broekerpoort te Oudewater, De Linschoterpoort te Oudewater, and De Gevangentoren te Oudewater, alongside Raampoort te Haarlem, met molen and Torens van kasteel Suijt Wijk.

Approximately six drawings by Hendrik de Winter are represented in institutional holdings, establishing his presence in historical collections. Notably, examples of his work are preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Given the eighteenth-century creation date, the original images are typically in the public domain, making high-quality prints and reproductions of these Hendrik de Winter prints available for study and appreciation.
