Danckerts was born in The Hague, where he learned his trade and remained until 1653. [2] He visited England for the first time in 1650. [2] In 1653 he went to Italy, where he stayed for five years. [2] He then moved to England where he entered the service of Charles II and the Duke of York (later James II & VII.) He painted Italianate landscapes, especially views of harbours and royal residences. [2] He also produced portraits and devotional pictures and made engravings after the Italian old masters in the Royal Collection. He left England in 1679 [2] due to the public hostility towards Roman Catholics after the Popish Plot controversy. He died soon after in Amsterdam, and was buried on 2 November 1680. [2]

He was also known as the "Master with the two Anchors" and was the younger brother of the painter Johan Danckerts. [2] Danckerts has twenty paintings in public ownership in the United Kingdom. [3]
