  National Gallery of Art - Gerard ter Borch; November 7, 2004 - January 30, 2004
This is the first monographic exhibition in the United States of works by Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681), one of the finest Dutch genre and portrait painters.
The paintings of Ter Borch are remarkably varied, and the selection represents each phase of his career—the early pictures of the 1630s, the mid-career genre paintings, and the small portraits distinctive for their psychological intensity.
Ter Borch was unrivaled in his ability to capture the elegance and grace of wealthy burghers and to express with subtlety the interactions between figures.

 The CODART List - Gerard ter Borch - Museums with Dutch art and Flemish art
Ter Borch’s paintings are varied, and the selection in this exhibition represents each phase of his career: early paintings of the 1630s, his mid-career genre pieces; and his portraits, distinctive for their attention to fabric detail.
Ter Borch interwove symbolism into each element of the piece: the mirror is associated with transience; the snuffed out candles imply love’s passing; and the colors of her gown, blue and white, signify jealousy and purity.
Ter Borch’s earliest works depict military life, but his status as a master of 17th-century Dutch painting grew from his acclaimed representations of poignant genre scenes, which followed common themes of letter writing, encounters between men and women and family interactions.

You pretty much have to start with satin when it comes to 17th-century Dutch painter Gerard ter Borch: for centuries, viewers have fixated on the artist’s ability to reproduce the texture and sheen of satin with seemingly miraculous realism.
In this study, published in conjunction with an exhibit at the National Gallery of Art and Detroit Institute of Art, Wheelock and his contributors manfully tackle the satin issue head-on, while also ingeniously using it as a springboard for exploring the painter’s subtler talents.
Ter Borch may have made a living as a portraitist to the middle class, but he made a specialty of sympathetic but unsentimental depictions of people in odd moments of their day, often staring distractedly into space—a little boy being groomed by his mother, for instance, or a woman looking up from a book.
