Anton De Clerck (September 24, 1841 – 1899) was a Belgian marine artist renowned for his pierhead paintings. Born in Ostend, a seaport town in Belgium, he began his career as a sailor before training as a draughtsman. This background is evident in his artworks, which often depict ships with meticulous detail.
