Leyster, Judith |
0.17 sec. |
Leyster, Judith(born July 28, 1609, Haarlem, Neth.—died Feb. 10, 1660, Heemstede) Dutch painter. A brewer's daughter, she had gained membership in the Haarlem painters' guild by age 24. Many of her known works, primarily portraits, genre paintings, and still lifes, were formerly attributed to her male contemporaries. Though the influence of Frans Hals is clear, she was also interested in the Baroque style of the Utrecht school. She embraced a greater range of subjects than other Dutch painters of the era and was one of the first to depict domestic scenes. How to thank TFD for its existence?
