Balthasar (Baltazar) van der Veen (1596 – 1660) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter. He was a son of Balthasar van der Veen, a merchant from Antwerp[1]Balthasar, the painter, is mentioned in Jan van der Veen's poem as his nephew. The poem was written for his wedding with Grietje Schaaps, page 319.[2] In this book written by M. E. Houck about some of the well known families from Deventer, Houck writes about a brother of Jan van der Veen, Walewijn van der Veen, page 314[3] We therefor can assume, correctly that these people were indeed related.

Van der Veen was born in Amsterdam where he was registered in 1620.[4] He worked in Gorinchem during the years 1637 - 1639 and then travelled south to France and further to Italy, but was back in Amsterdam by 1657 when he became a member of the Guild of St. Luke there.[4] He is known for landscapes after Cornelis Gerritsz Decker, Wouter Knijff, and Roelof Jansz van Vries.[4] Van der Veen probably died in Haarlem.[4]
