HOECKE, ROBRECHT VAN DEN, born in Antwerp, Nov. 30, 1622, died after 1695. Flemish school; genre, landscape, and battle painter, son and pupil of Kasper, and half-brother of Jan; master of the guild in 1645.

While controller of the fortifications of Flanders he painted many military camps and scenes, executing the figures on a small scale and with great minuteness.
