Description: | Signed: yes Description: Willem van Mieris was the son of Frans van Mieris, one of the most prominent artists of the Leiden school in the late seventeenth century. The group was particularly renowned for its small and finely detailed genre scenes. Although Frans died when Willem was fifteen the latter remained faithful to his father's style, in spite of the changing artistic trends of the early eighteenth century. Rather than being a copy of one of his father's works, as was often the case, this picture is a reproduction of a painting by Pieter Cornelisz. van Slingeland, another prominent member of the school. | Subjects: | everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mieris, Willem van (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1662-1747) Æ After Slingeland, Pieter Cornelisz. van (Dutch painter, 1640-1691) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8490... | Go to resource |
