Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1638-1698 Brother of Job Berckheyde. Gerrit specialized in a particular type of architectural subject, the TOWNSCAPE. His painted work shows a debt not only to Pieter Saenredam's conception of the building portrait but also to Saenredam's refined draughtsmanship and dispassionate attitude; these qualities mark Berckheyde as a classicist and akin to Vermeer. Berckheyde favoured views of monuments on large open squares, a choice that distinguishes him from the other great Dutch townscape painter, Jan van der Heyden, who preferred views along canals in which clarity was sacrificed for pictorial effect.  Related Paintings of BERCKHEYDE, Gerrit Adriaensz. :. | The Interior of the | Amsterdam | The Interior of the Grote Kerk (St Bavo) at Haarlem | Amsterdam, the Nieuwezijds near the Bloemmarkt ffd | The Market Place and the Grote Kerk at Haarlem |
