Biography

Koninck was born in Amsterdam. According to Houbraken he lent his books on perspective to Johannes Verkolje, who became better than he was at perspective drawing. He was a disciple of Adriaen van de Velde who became a popular painter in Copenhagen where he painted for the court of Christian V of Denmark.

According to the RKD he was the uncle of Salomon Koninck, a pupil of David Colijns and became the teacher of his son Jacob II and his younger brother Philips Koninck.[1] He was in Dordrecht from 1633–1636, Rotterdam from 1637–1645, The Hague from 1647–1651, back in Amsterdam in 1658 (when he probably lent young Verkolje his perspective books).
