Hendrick van Balen or Hendrick van Balen I (c.
1573-1575 in Antwerp – 17 July 1632 in Antwerp) was a Flemish Baroque painter and stained glass designer.
Hendrick van Balen specialised in small cabinet pictures often painted on a copper support.
His favourite themes were mythological and allegorical scenes and, to a lesser extent, religious subjects.
The artist played an important role in the renewal of Flemish painting in the early 17th century and was one of the teachers of Anthony van Dyck.
