## Biography

Dutch painter and etcher. He was the son of Willem Jansz. Stoop \(fl. 1633-44, d. 1646\), a stained-glass artist with whom he probably trained. Dirck or possibly his brother Maerten Willemsz. was an apprentice in the Utrecht Guild of St Luke in 1638. Dirck probably travelled to Italy in 1635-45, where he may have painted Rest during the Hunt \(1643; Copenhagen, Nationalmuseum\). Between 1647 and 1652 he was back in Utrecht. Later he worked at the court in Lisbon.
