Gillis van Vlackenborch or Egidius van Vlackenborch was a Flemish painter and draughtsman who spent most of his career in Germany. He was born in Antwerp in 1570 and died in Frankfurt am Main in 1622. Gillis was part of the van Valckenborch dynasty of painters who painted mainly landscapes. Unlike his family members, he is mainly known for his large-scale compositions with many swirling figures depicting scenes from ancient history or mythology. While his landscape drawings evidence his interest in landscape art no landscape paintings have been attributed to him.
