## Biography

Dutch painter active in Amsterdam and specialized in religious, historical, and mythological scenes. He went to Italy \(c. 1604\) and was influenced by Caravaggio - which makes him akin to the Utrecht School - and by Elsheimer. His &#34;forte&#34; was small figures in exotic and brightly-coloured costumes. He was back in Amsterdam by 1607. His real importance lies in the fact that Jan Lievens was his pupil in 1617 and Rembrandt in 1624/15.
