Pieter de Hooch
Dutch, 1629–1684
Born in Rotterdam; died in Amsterdam.
De Hooch was born in Rotterdam and trained, according to an early biographer, with Nicolaes Berchem in Haarlem. His finest work dates from his years in Delft in the late 1650s, when he painted sunlit courtyards and orderly interiors with views through doorways into further rooms, close to the concerns of his contemporary Vermeer. After moving to Amsterdam in the early 1660s he painted grander interiors for a wealthier clientele.
