Balthasar (Baltazar) van der Veen (1596 – 1660) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter. He was a son of Balthasar van der Veen, a merchant from Antwerp[1]Balthasar, the painter, is mentioned in Jan van der Veen's poem as his nephew. The poem was written for his wedding with Grietje Schaaps, page 319.[2] In this book written by M. E. Houck about some of the well known families from Deventer, Houck writes about a brother of Jan van der Veen, Walewijn van der Veen, page 314[3] We therefor can assume, correctly that these people were indeed related.
