Description: | Netscher produced many small-scale portraits at The Hague in the 1670s and early 1680s. Having begun his career principally as a genre painter, during the 1660s he turned increasingly to portraiture working for court patrons in The Hague. Though it seems strange to depict the famous seventeenth-century physicist, Newton, imagined as a boy, this was not his only work of this kind; he also painted William of Orange as a Boy. The potential of these figures as children was obviously something that interested Netscher or one of his patrons. | Subjects: | portrait (Newton Isaac) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Netscher, Caspar (Dutch painter, 1639-1684) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8682... | Go to resource |
