Abraham Bloemaert (1564-1651)
Abraham Bloemaert (1564-1651)
Painter-Engraver born in Dordrecht. Pupil of amongst other Frans Floris. He went to Paris at a young age and studied the woks of Primatticio and Nicolo dell'Abate. At the age of 19 he was back in Utrecht and worked with Cornelis Van Haarlem. He was influenced by those other Utrecht Mannerists Hendrik Goltzius and Bartholomaus Spranger. His work found birth in Utrecht and Amsterdam and he became one of the most important adepts of the mannerism. Not at least by his long active life and the influence on his sons who worked in the same genius wonderful style.
He excelled more as a colourist than as a draughtsman, was extremely productive, and painted and etched historical and allegorical pictures, landscapes, still-life, animal pictures and flower pieces. In the first decade of the seventeenth-century, Bloemaert began formulating his landscape paintings to include picturesque ruined cottages and other pastoral elements. In these works, the religious or mythological figures play a subordinate role. Country life was to remain Bloemaert's favourite subject, which he depicted with increasing naturalism. He drew motifs such as peasant cottages, dovecotes and trees from life and then on his return to the studio worked them up into complex imaginary scenes
