Flemish engraver, painter and dealer, part of a family of artists, son of Abraham de Bruyn (1540-1587). His earliest known works are a series of prints dated 1594 that continue in his father's tradition; they were published by Assuerus van Londerseel (1572-1635), although de Bruyn later published his own works. He married Assuerus's sister Suzanna van Londerseel, and their brother Jan van Londerseel became his student. De Bruyn was registered in 1601 as a master in Antwerp's Guild of St Luke; by 1617 he is recorded in Rotterdam, where he worked for the rest of his life. An inventory of his possessions in 1632 included a house on the Rijweg in Gouda, a quantity of copper plates and paintings by him and prints by his contemporaries; none of his own paintings has been identified. //
