| biography:
| Painter, born in Rotterdam, W Netherlands. By 1654 he was living in Delft, and probably came under the influence of Carel Fabritius and his pupil, Vermeer. ‘Courtyard of a House in Delft’ (1658, National Gallery, London) and the ‘Card Players’ (royal collection) are among the outstanding examples of the Dutch school of the 17th-c, with their characteristically serene domestic interior or courtyard scenes, warm colouring, and delicate light effects. |
