Dirk van Hoogstraten (1596-1640) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. Dirk was a grandson of Francois van Hoogstraten, who emigrated from Antwerp, Belgium, on account of his Mennonitism and settled in Dordrecht, Dutch province of South Holland, where Dirk was born. Dirk was one of the few painters who joined the Anabaptists. He was at first a silversmith, but after a journey through Germany he felt drawn to painting and engraving. Of his works only a few have been preserved. One of his pictures, "Mary and her Mother and the Christ child," is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
His children include Samuel Dirksz van Hoogstraten (1627-1678), a Dutch Golden Age painter and poet, and Jan van Hoogstraten (1628-1654), also a Dutch Golden Age painter. Jan traveled to Vienna in 1652 to work at court and died there in 1654. He was buried in St. Stephen's Cathedral.
