Dutch, 1596–1674
Leonaert Bramer was a Dutch Dutch Golden Age painter. 14 works are cataloged here, principally at Kunsthistorisches Museum, most of them oil paintings. Leonaert Bramer was born in Delft.
Leonaert Bramer, also Leendert or Leonard (24 December 1596 – before 10 February 1674 (date of burial)), was a Dutch painter known primarily for genre, religious, and history paintings. Very prolific as a painter and draftsman, he is noted especially for nocturnal scenes which show a penchant for exotic details of costume and setting. He also painted frescos, a rarity north of the Alps, which have not survived, as well as murals on canvas, few of which are extant. Bramer is one of the most intriguing personalities in seventeenth-century Dutch art.
