Pieter Jansz van Asch (1603 – 6 June 1678 (buried)) was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
He was born at Delft, the son of the portrait painter Jan van Asch and joined the Guild of St. Luke in 1623. [1] According to Arnold Houbraken, he specialized in small landscapes, but his productivity was hampered by caring for his parents. [2] Jan Verkolje knew him and made a mezzotint of him. The city of Delft paid him 100 guilders for a schoorsteenstuk or overmantel piece in the City Hall known as the Prinsenhof. [3]
His works are influenced by the painters Pieter de Bloot, Jan Both, Joachim Govertsz Camphuysen, Anthonie Jansz van der Croos, Jan Josefsz van Goyen, and Jan Gabrielsz Sonjé. [1] He in turn influenced the painter Jacobus Coert. [1] He died and was buried in his home town of Delft. [1]
van Asch has paintings in public collections including four in the United Kingdom. [4]
