Egbert van der Poel (9 March 1621 - 19 July 1664) was a Dutch Golden Age genre and landscape painter.
Van der Poel was born in Delft, the son of a goldsmith, and may have been a student of Esaias van de Velde and of Aert van der Neer. According to the RKD he was the brother of the painter Adriaen Lievensz van der Poel and a student of Cornelis Saftleven in Rotterdam.[1] Van der Poel was registered with the Guild of St Luke in Delft on 17 October 1650, where he is listed as a landscape painter.[2] In 1651 van der Poel married Aeltgen Willems van Linschooten in Maassluis, near Rotterdam. His most famous paintings depict the Delft gunpowder explosion of 12 October 1654 and its aftermath; he and his wife were living in the area at the time. Egbert and Aeltgen van der Poel had a son and three daughters. He died in Rotterdam in 1664.
