Daniel van Heil or Daniƫl van Heil, was a Flemish Baroque landscape painter. He specialised in three types of landscapes: scenes with fire, landscapes with ruins and winter landscapes.
Little is known about the life and training of Daniel van Heil. He was born in Brussels. His father Leo or Leon was a painter and two of his brothers were also artists: Leo was an architect and painter and Jan Baptist was a portrait painter.
It is not known with whom Daniel trained but it was likely his father. He became a master in the Brussels Guild of St. Luke in 1627.
His son Theodoor van Heil trained with his father and produced landscapes of similar subject matter executed in the same style as his father.
The artist died in Brussels in 1664.
