Nicaise de Keyser (26 August 1813 Zandvliet - 17 July 1887 Antwerp), was a Belgian painter who has his talent discovered by the painter Joseph Jacobs who got him a place in the Antwerp art academy.
In 1622 the Spaniard Ambrogio Spinola constructed a fortification with seven bastions around Zandvliet, to strengthen the defenses of Antwerp against the northern Netherlands.
Both of these warring parties frequently used the tactic of strategic flooding to attack the fort of Lillo, and the fort De Frederik which in the meantine disappeared, and the reinforced blockhouse Zandvliet to force dispossession.

In 1958, Berendrecht and Zandvliet and Lillo were joined at Antwerp and the polder landscape was mainly expropriated for the port extension.
