Bernardus van Schijndel (1647–1709) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of small scale genre works.
Biography
According to Houbraken, he was a Haarlemmer who lived alongside Reinier (Richard) Brakenburg (1650–1702) in Leeuwarden for a period, where he taught Jelle Sibrandsz, a young painter who later travelled to Italy in 1669.{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/houb005groo01_01/houb005groo01_01_0455.htm Bernart Schendel biography] in De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen (1718) by Arnold Houbraken, courtesy of the Digital library for Dutch literature
Though Houbraken wrote that he was the same age, with the same birthplace, and painted in the same style as Brakenburg, he was actually a few years older and was born in Weesp, not Haarlem.[https://rkd.nl/en/explore/artists/70473 RKD entry on Bernardus van Schijndel] He married Lysbet Sanderius in 1677, near Weesp in the town of Diemen, but is registered as living in Leeuwarden from 1671 to 1696. He must have moved to Haarlem sometime after that, which is where he died.
