1613-1675 Dutch Gerard Dou Locations Dutch genre and portrait painter of Leiden. The son of a glass painter, he was apprenticed to an engraver and worked from 1628 to 1631 in the studio of the young Rembrandt. Although he occasionally borrowed Rembrandt themes, he was more detailed and meticulous in his execution. His scenes of domestic, middle-class life were tremendously popular and often imitated. Among his most famous works are Evening Light (Rijks Mus.), Young Man (The Hague), The Cook (Louvre), and a self-portrait (Metropolitan Mus.).   Related Paintings of Gerrit Dou :. | The Grocers Shop | Standing Soldier with Weapons (mk33) | An Interior with a Woman eating Porridge (mk33) | Portrait of an old woman reading | Astronomer by Candlelight |
