HOOCH, Pieter de
Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1629-1684
Dutch painter. He was one of the most accomplished 17th-century Dutch genre painters, excelling in the depiction of highly ordered interiors with domestic themes and merry companies and pioneering the depiction of genre scenes set in a sunlit courtyard. The hallmarks of his art are an unequalled responsiveness to subtle effects of daylight, and views to adjoining spaces, either through a doorway or a window, Related Paintings of HOOCH, Pieter de :. | Mother Lacing Her Bodice beside a Cradle s | Drinkers in the Bower af | The Mother wsf | A Woman Drinking with Two Men s | The Bedroom sg | Related Artists: MOLA, Pier FrancescoItalian Baroque Era Painter, 1612-1666
Painter and draughtsman, son of (1) Giovanni Battista Mola. His most characteristic works are small, intensely romantic scenes from mythology, the Bible, and from works by the poet Torquato Tasso, set in landscapes inspired by Venetian art. Yet he also received important public commissions for frescoes and altarpieces, and in his mature work he achieved an impressive synthesis of 17th-century Roman gran maniera painting with the stronger chiaroscuro and richer palette of the 16th-century Venetian style. He was a prolific and versatile draughtsman, who drew for pleasure as well as in preparation for commissions; he was also a witty caricaturist, who mocked himself and his friends as much as more typical targets Alexei Venetsianov1780 - 1847 Hendrik Valkenburgpainted An old kitchen with a mother and two children at the cauldron in 1872
