# Portrait of Michiel van der Dussen and His Family [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VLIET, Hendrick Cornelisz. van]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 159 x 210 cm ## Commentary Hendrick van Vliet, the nephew and pupil of Willem van Vliet, is best known for his many interior views of actual churches in Delft and other cities, which he began to paint in the early 1650s. Before 1650 he was a moderately successful portraitist and an occasional painter of history pictures. This family portrait, which came to light only in 1986, is Van Vliet's finest work in this genre. The sitters were recently identified as members of a distinguished Catholic family: Michiel van der Dussen \(1600-1681\), his wife Wilhelmina van Setten \(1605-1683\) and their children. ## Related artworks - [Church Interior]() - [Girl Holding a Fan]() - [Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk at Delft]() - [Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Delft, from beneath the Organ Loft at the Western Entrance]() - [Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Delft, with the Memorial Tablet of Adriaen Teding van Berkhout]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft, with the Tomb of Admiral Tromp]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft, with the Tomb of Piet Hein]() - [Portrait of a Cleric]() - [Sketchbook]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
