Aug. 26, 1666. Dutch school; portrait and genre painter of great
renown; pupil of Karel Van Mander. A most influential teacher and
founder of a national style, and a portrait painter to be ranked
with the greatest masters. Addicted to drunkenness, according to
Houbraken, he was never prosperous, despite his long and active life
and his unusual talent, which excited Van Dyck’s admiration. In
1664, reduced to sheer want, he was supported by the municipality
and pensioned. Flesh-colouring unequalled; handling broad, masterly,
and vigourous. Pictures unequal in merit; his immense facility
sometimes led him to be careless and sketchy. Works: Joh. Bogardus
