		Pieter de Hooch, an important genre painter of interior domestic scenes, was born on the outskirts of Rotterdam, the son of a village butcher who fancied himself a painter.
		De Hooch was deeply distressed when his wife died in 1667, and he moved to Amsterdam, where he began to paint fashionable scenes of the more sophisticated affluent society in the larger city.
		De Hooch's straightforward style and unassuming temperament did not lend themselves to the new subjects (which he continued to paint until his death at an unknown date after 1688), and they are less satisfying than the middle-class interiors of his life in Delft.

	Pieter de Hooch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pieter de Hooch (pronounced [hoːx], also spelled "Hoogh" or "Hooghe") (1629 - 1684) was a genre painter during the Dutch Golden Age.
		De Hooch was born in Rotterdam to Hendrick Hendricksz de Hooch, a bricklayer, and Annetge Pieters, a midwife.

	Pieter de Hooch Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The paintings of middle-class Dutch interiors by the Dutch artist Pieter de Hooch (1629-after 1684) are prized both for the vision of the serenity and order of the life they portray and for their qualities of abstract organization.
		De Hooch's earliest dated pictures are from 1658, and they show him at the height of his powers.
		De Hooch's style differs from Vermeer's in that his light and colors are warmer, his spatial constructions tend to be more complex, and his figures lack the monumental three-dimensionality of Vermeer's.

	Pieter de Hoogh: Life and Art
		De Hoogh was baptized on 20 December 1629 in Rotterdam, the son of a bricklayer.
		De Hooch was born in Rotterdam in 1629 and produced his most characteristic works during the period when he lived in Delft, where he is documented for the first time in 1652 and where he entered the painters' guild in 1655.
		The great innovation of De Hooch's painting is the importance which it gives to the middle-class setting, while its most unique quality is the absolutely convincing naturalism of his paintings which rely on the treatment of light and space and the psychological proximity of the figures.

		De Hooch was born in Rotterdam to Hendrick Hendricksz de Hooch, a bricklayer, and Annetge Pieters, a midwife.
		De Hooch was married in Delft in 1654 to Jannetje van der Burch, by whom he fathered seven children.
		The early work of de Hooch, like most young painters of his time, was mostly composed of scenes of soldiers in stables and taverns, though he used these to develop great skill in light, color, and perspective rather than to explore an interest in the subject matter.

		De Hooch's paintings can be easily divided in subject and style among his three geographical locales, as his own life ascended from working class to middle class to high bourgeois.
		De Hooch, in marked contrast to Vermeer, is a painter of this world, with all its social precariousness and unavoidable melancholy.
		De Hooch's Amsterdam addresses were in the poor outskirts of the city, outside the town gates, and the Town Hall may have been the only swanky interior he had access to.

		Pieter De Hooch was a genre painter noted for his interior scenes and use of light.
		De Hooch often depicted middle-class families in ordinary interiors and sunny courtyards, performing their humble daily duties in a calm atmosphere disrupted only by the radiant entry of natural light penetrating a door or window.
		During his final years, the quality of De Hooch's paintings deteriorated alarmingly; these developments may have been related to his death in an insane asylum at the age of fifty-five.

		But even in these early stages of his development, we can see that de Hooch was less interested in his subjects and more concerned with refining his palette, improving his handling of light sources, and capturing the appropriate perspective.
		Within two years, something occurred (perhaps it was his move to the more picturesque city of Delft) and de Hooch perfected his sense of perspective to the extent that he could place two or more vanishing points in the same composition and produce a comfortable sense of rightness for the viewer.
		While volumes could be devoted to de Hooch's technical mastery, it is his depiction of apparent everyday life that is so enthralling.

	Biography
		Pieter de Hooch (also spelled Hoogh, or Hooghe), Dutch genre painter of the Delft school, noted for his interior scenes and use of light.
		De Hooch's decision to leave Delft was no doubt prompted by the prospect of a larger market for his paintings in the thriving commercial centre of Amsterdam.
		Although an unevenness and later falling off in quality characterises the Amsterdam period, from his arrival in the city through into the mid-1670s de Hooch was still capable of painting individual pictures that rival the best works of his Delft years.

	Woman Reading a Letter by HOOCH, Pieter de
		Pieter de Hooch depicts for us incidents in the daily lives of women at home with their children: the mother watching over the cradle, serving her family at table, reading a letter or working in her kitchen.
		Patrons, whose preference was for something livelier, for gay and colourful peasant scenes, bought pictures by the Ostades, Jan Steen or Jan Miense Molenaer, but de Hooch was popular in the narrower circle of those who appreciated his distinctive approach and delicacy of execution.
		The magic of his works lies not so much in his subjects as in the means by which he interpreted them: the lucid and balanced composition, the feeling of space and the warm glow of his colours.

		This panel of about 1657 is one of the first works in which De Hooch employs linear perspective to assist in creating the typical Delft image of a realistic domestic interior.
		His earlier dependence upon figure groups, furniture, and contrasts of light and shadow to suggest three-dimensional space is still evident here, incongruously in the case of the underscaled bed.
		Hints of De Hooch's association with Vermeer are found in the study of light on the woman to the left and in her reflection in the window.
