Bartholomeus van der Helst 1613-1670
Hij leerde het schildersvak in Amsterdam en maakte interessante composities van grote groepen mensen. Zijn talent blijkt uit de enorme schuttersstukken die hij in de vroege jaren 40 maakte. Zijn Schuttersmaaltijd in de Voetboogdoelen werd lange tijd minstens zo bewonderd als Rembrandts Nachtwacht. Tot zijn dood was hij de voornaamste portretschilder van de Amsterdamse rijke burgerij.
He learned to paint in Amsterdam and made interesting compositions of large groups of people. His talent is evident in the huge militia pieces he made in the early 1640s. His Banquet of the Amsterdam Civic Guard in Celebration of the Peace of Münster was for a long time admired at least as much as Rembrandt's Night Watch. Until his death he was the leading portrait painter of the wealthy bourgeoisie of Amsterdam.
