HOOCH, Pieter de
Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1629-1684
Dutch painter. He was one of the most accomplished 17th-century Dutch genre painters, excelling in the depiction of highly ordered interiors with domestic themes and merry companies and pioneering the depiction of genre scenes set in a sunlit courtyard. The hallmarks of his art are an unequalled responsiveness to subtle effects of daylight, and views to adjoining spaces, either through a doorway or a window, Related Paintings of HOOCH, Pieter de :. | Village House sf | Musical Party in a Courtyard sg | Drinkers in the Bower af | The Morning of a Young man sg | The Card-Players sg | Related Artists: Ippolito CaffiItalian Painter, 1809-1866 Sir edwin landseer,ra1802-1873
Painter, draughtsman, sculptor and etcher, brother of (3) Charles Landseer. He became the best-known member of the family and was one of the most highly respected and popular British painters of the 19th century. He was first trained by his father, who taught him etching, and he then studied with Benjamin Robert Haydon and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Precociously gifted, he drew competently from childhood and in 1813 he won the Silver Palette for draughtsmanship at the Society of Arts. In 1815 he exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time, showing some drawings of a mule and of the heads of dogs. From an early age he was a frequent visitor to the menagerie in Exeter Change in the Strand, London, where he drew lions, monkeys and other animals. Paul ChenavardLyons 1807 - Paris 1895.
