Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627-1678), a name to remember. Of all Rembrandt’s pupils, he became the most successful. During his lifetime, that is. Because after the 17th century he was forgotten by the general public, despite the fact that he was a learned artist who constantly experimented with different subjects and optical tricks.
He was a pioneer of illusionism: the 3D artist of his time. Later in his life he wrote a famous book full of instructions for new generations of painters – his intellectual masterpiece. High time for a renewed acquaintance. IN DUTCH!
