The artist

Gerard Hoet

1648 - 1733

Zaltbommel, Netherlands

Gerard Hoet (Dutch: [ɦut]; 22 August 1648 – 2 December 1733) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and engraver. Gerard Hoet trained with his father and brother who were glass painters, and Warnard van Rijsen, who lived in Zaltbommel, and who himself was a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburgh in Utrecht. In 1672 Hoet moved to The Hague, but when the Count of Salis bought paintings at his mother's house in Zaltbommel, Hoet returned to paint for him.
