Pieter de Hooch - Paintings
Pieter de Hooch, who had been educated by the landscape painter Nicolas Berchem, is considered one of the greatest Dutch genre and interior painters of the Baroque.
Born on December 20, 1629 in Rotterdam.
Died after 1684 in Amsterdam.
The early work of Pieter de Hooch consists largely of tavern and soldier scenes. Only later did he begin to cover the subjects of the civil life in his interior paintings, using the technique of the conduct of light and the gradation of colors he had learned from Jan Vermeer and Carel Fabritius. Pieter Pieter de Hooch was able to depict the bourgeois everyday life in almost still-life-like arrangements. Doing so, he used bold colors standing in contrast to the very calmed compositions. With his move to Amsterdam in 1661, his work experienced in a significant breach within its theme. Influenced by the French court painting scene, Pieter de Hooch started to paint upper-class companies in their sumptuously decorated chambers.		 Pieter de Hooch
