About the Artist

Johannes Baers

Dutch painter. Little is known about the life and work of Johannes Baers. He may be the Hans Baers, recorded in 1618 as a member of the Antwerp Guild, but his working life seems to have been spent in Utrecht, and his work was recorded in Amsterdam inventories as well. His paintings clearly reflect the influence of both Roelandt Savery and Balthasar van der Ast, both of whom were working in Utrecht in the 1620s.
