Biography:
Gerrit Dou was born in Leiden where he became Rembrandt’s first student in 1628. His early style was reflective of his teacher’s but when Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam around 1631, Dou developed a smoother, more distinctive approach. He painted meticulously, with careful attention to detail and sometimes enlisted the aid of a magnifying glass. He painted an array of subjects, but is remembered for his domestic interiors. In 1648, Dou helped found the Leiden Guild of St. Luke. He established an international reputation and even turned down an invitation from Charles II to travel to England. Dou enjoyed an extended period of success and financial prosperity until the development of Impressionism.
