Pieter Jacobsz. de Valck (1584 - 1625) was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
De Valck was born and died in Leeuwarden. According to Houbraken, he was the son of a silversmith who learned to paint from Abraham Bloemaert (according to Joh. Hilarides van Bolswerd).[1] He travelled to Italy and on his return became a respected court painter in Leeuwarden and had two sons who he taught to paint and who also travelled to Italy.[1] They were taken captive in Genoa and sold as slaves on the Barbary coast, never to return.[1] He himself continued to paint for the Leeuwarden court and was known for portraits, landscapes, and historical allegories.[1] His selfportrait was in the hands of his daughter's daughter's daughter Antje Ieppes of Sneek.[1] She made a copy and Houbraken engraved it.[1]
According to the RKD he was a portrait painter who worked in Italy.[2]
