Biography:

Bernardus van Schijndel was a Dutch Golden Age painter of small scale genre works. He was born in Weesp, Netherlands in 1647 and died in Haarlem, Netherlands in 1709. He was a Haarlemmer who lived alongside Reinier (Richard) Brakenburg in Leeuwarden for a period, where he taught Jelle Sibrandsz, a young painter who later travelled to Italy in 1669. He was married to Lysbet Sanderius in 1677, near Weesp in the town of Diemen, but is registered as living in Leeuwarden from 1671 to 1696. He must have moved to Haarlem sometime after that, which is where he died.
