Susanna van Steenwijk

Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal entrance in the former Cloth Hall of Leiden - 1642 painting by Susanna van Steenwijk.

Susanna van Steenwijk (born after 1601 as Susanna Gaspoel – probably buried 2 August 1664, Amsterdam)[1] was a painter of small architectural exteriors active in Leiden and Amsterdam.

Susanna's father, Johan Gaspoel, was buried in 1622 in Westham in England, when his three children were not yet 21 years of age.[1] In 1630 she married the architectural painter Hendrik van Steenwijk II, who was at least 20 years her elder.[2] She baptized a son in Amsterdam in 1632 and one in Leiden in 1634.[1]

Her known paintings are from the 1640s, and were made in Leiden and Amsterdam.[2] Like her husband, she also made paintings of church interiors[3] and a cabinet drawing of a church interior is known dated 1664 and signed "Susanna v. Steenwijk".[1]
