Ferdinand Bol 1616 - 1680

Na een periode als leerling in het atelier van Rembrandt, vestigde hij zich in 1642 als zelfstandig schilder. Hij schilderde vooral portretten en historiestukken, eerst nog op de manier van Rembrandt, in sobere tinten en sterke licht-donkercontrasten. Ne 1650 schakelde hij over op een meer kleurrijke en elegante stijl.

(English translation:)

He mainly painted portraits and history paintings, at first in the manner of Rembrandt, in sober tones and strong light-dark contrasts. After 1650 he switched to a more colorful and elegant style.

Overview: Ferdinand Bol (24 June 1616 – 24 August 1680) was a Dutch painter, etcher and draftsman. Although his surviving work is rare, it displays Rembrandt's influence; like his master, Bol favored historical subjects, portraits, numerous self-portraits, and single figures in exotic finery.
