Description: | It is known that this severe portrait is of a thirty-five year old member of the Amsterdam bourgeoisie; it is thought that he may have been a merchant and lawyer. The painting is dated 1632, the year in which Rembrandt arrived in Amsterdam from his native Leiden in order to set himself up as a portrait painter. Both artists went on to have successful careers; the reserved manner of de Keyser provided an excellent complement to the other artist's style, and vice versa. | Subjects: | portrait (Van Limborch Frans) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Keyser, Thomas de (Dutch painter and architect, born 1596 or 1597, died 1667) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8712... | Go to resource |
