Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1613-1675 Dutch painter. The first and most famous member of the group of artists referred to as the LEIDEN 'FINE' PAINTERS, he specialized in small-format paintings, the details and surfaces of which are carefully observed and meticulously rendered. He was greatly praised as a painter of artificial light by Samuel van Hoogstraten in 1678, and he was responsible for popularizing both the night scene and the 'niche' format, pictorial devices ultimately derived from the art of his famous master, Rembrandt.   Related Paintings of DOU, Gerrit :. | Old Man Lighting a Pipe | Man with a Pipe | Portrait of a Young Woman | Officer of the Marksman Society in Leiden fg | Still Life with Globe, Lute, and Books |
