## About Hendrik Frans van Lint

Hendrik Frans van Lint (1684–1763) was a Flemish landscape and vedute painter and draughtsman whose career is closely associated with Rome. Public authority data identifies him as a Flemish landscape painter, while biographical sources place him among the Flemish and Dutch artists working in the city. He is especially connected with topographical landscapes and carefully described urban views, a field in which he became an important Roman practitioner during the first half of the eighteenth century. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with painted landscapes, vedute, and drawings, including views related to Rome and its surroundings. His clientele reportedly included established Roman aristocratic families as well as European Grand Tour travellers, helping explain the circulation of his work beyond Italy. Authority profiles maintained by Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, RKD, and museum databases provide stable identity links, although several collected profiles did not return substantive biographical text during this research pass.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under van Lint's name are most commonly associated with landscape painting, vedute, and topographical views, especially Roman subjects. The source pack also identifies him as a draughtsman, so drawings belong in the appraisal taxonomy rather than being treated as equivalent to paintings. Collected image examples show a Tiber view, a landscape with figures and cattle, and coastal scenery. These examples illustrate subject range but do not establish how frequently each type appears, authenticate a submitted object, or determine its market value.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by separating claimed authorship from observable characteristics and the available documentation. For van Lint, the source pack supports comparison groups centered on landscape paintings, vedute or topographical views, and drawings. Identifiable Roman subjects can narrow the relevant set, while painting-versus-drawing distinctions should be preserved. Appraisily's input indicates 173 auction records attached to this artist name, but the collected pack contains no individual lot descriptions, estimates, realized prices, condition reports, or provenance histories. That count establishes a potential comparison pool, not a price conclusion. A defensible valuation should review the underlying public records and match work type, subject, attribution, sale date, and available object-level evidence before interpreting realized prices. No trend, price range, authenticity conclusion, or guarantee is supported by this source pack.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity and market conclusions remain limited by the quality and specificity of the underlying evidence.
