In the 17th and 18th century, the Burckhardts intermarried with the other leading families of the Basel patriciate (Iselin, Merian, Sarasin, Staehelin, Vischer, Wettstein).

Andreas Burckhardt (1986, Locarno) is a Swiss-American author and the great-nephew of artist Rudy Burckhardt.
He attended various universities including Leipzig and Helmstedt, before being sent on a grand tour under the supervision of his tutor, Burckhardt Niderstedt.
After his death, several buildings were completed posthumously: the general headquarters of Sandoz in Rueil-Malmaison, completed in 1968 by Bernard Zehrfuss and the Swiss architect Martin Burckhardt.
James particularly admires Sargent's portraits of women, such as Miss Burckhardt (not identified by name but illustrated in the magazine text of the article) and Madame X (called Madame G in the essay).
