| | History of Art: Baroque and Rococo |
 | | Rembrandt had many pupils in Leiden and Amsterdam, including Gerrit Dou, Govaert Flinck, Samuel van Hoogstraten, Carel Fabritius, and Nicolaes Maes. |
 | | In 1650, Fabritius (1622-54) moved to Delft and, inspired by his adopted city, gained a reputation for his vibrant, colourful paintings and his exploration of perspective, demonstrated by his View of Delft (1652). |
 | | His father, Jasper van Baburen (d ?1599), had been in the service of Geertruijd van Bronckhorst van Battenburg, Baroness (vrijvrouw) of Vianen, Viscountess (burggravin) of Utrecht, and thus Dirck must have received a better than average education, a fact at least partially confirmed by the innovative and often literary nature of his subject-matter. |
