1641 – 1711

Dutch painter, etcher, and writer on art, the second son of the painter Reinier Lairesse and Catherine Taulier. He was the leading decorative painter in Holland in the second half of the 17th century, working in an academic classical style that inspired his over-enthusiastic contemporaries to call him 'the Dutch Raphael' and 'the Dutch Poussin'. He and his three brothers studied painting, music and poetry under their father, who himself specialised in rendering marble and other types of stone.Show more
