BIOGRAPHY
Belgian painter, part of a family of artists. Hendrick Joseph Dillens, like his brother Adolphe-Alexandre, was active as a painter and etcher. He had two sons, the painter Albert (b. 1844), who produced fishing scenes, portraits and a few religious works, and the sculptor Julien Dillens (1849-1904).
Hendrick Joseph Dillens specialized in genre scenes and portraits. He was a pupil at the Academy of Ghent and Maes Canini, and he probably taught his younger brother, Adolphe-Alexandre, who was also a genre painter.
