David de Haen

David de Haen , was a Dutch Caravaggesque painter and draughtsman, active in Rome between 1615 and 1622.

According to the Dutch Golden Age biographer Arnold Houbraken, David de Haen was born in Rotterdam and later moved to Rome. Houbraken got this information from the Flemish biographer Cornelis de Bies Het Gulden Cabinet and did not have any other information about him and his date of birth or death. Houbraken , however, erred about this birth in Rotterdam and mixed his birth details up with those of another artist also named David de Haen who was born in Rotterdam, but did not go to Rome.
