Gerard or Gerard de Lairesse (11 September 1640 or 1641 - June 1711) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and art theorist. Lairesse was born in Liege. His broad range of talent included music, poetry, and the theatre. He was perhaps the most celebrated Dutch painter in the period following the death of Rembrandt. His treatises on painting and drawing, Grondlegginge der teekenkonst (1701) and Groot Schilderboek (1707), were highly influential on 18th-Century painters like Jacob de Wit. Students of De Lairesse included the painter Jan van Mieris. He died in Amsterdam.  Related Paintings of Gerard de Lairesse :. | Venus schenkt wapens aan Aeneas | Antiochus and Stratonice | Granida and Daiphilo | Allegory of the Freedom of Trade | Aeneas beim Festmahl der Dido |
