Circle of Gerard Dou

Circle of Gerard Dou is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst.

Dutch Golden Age painters in the circle of Gerard Dou specialized in finely detailed scenes lit by a single candle or window. Their specialty was tiny, jewel-like works that look like a snapshot of a private moment frozen in time. See how their brush captured every thread in a hermit’s robe and every wrinkle on his weathered face in the painting A Hermit. Next, tap into the cozy glow of candlelit interiors that fill this era.
