Biography:
Taught by his father, Pieter Claesz, Nicolaes Berchem began his career in Haarlem at the age of fourteen. He adopted the last name Berchem while studying in Jan van Goyen’s studio. Berchem also trained other another Dutch landscape painter, Cornelis van Poelenburgh, and adopted a classical style. At fifty-seven, he settled in Amsterdam and painted Italian landscapes until his death. He painted over 800 works in his lifetime, most of the Italian countryside, although scholars are unsure whether he ever actually visited the country that he was inspired by.
