July 28,
1711. Dutch
school; history
and allegory
painter, pupil of
his father, Renier
de Lairesse, and
of Bartholet Flemael,
but formed
himself chiefly after Nicolas Poussin, whence
sometimes called the Dutch Poussin. Emigrated
early to Holland, and lived successively
at Bois-le-Duc, Utrecht, The Hague
(where mentioned as member of the guild
in 1684), and Amsterdam; having become
blind in 1690, he gathered around him a
circle of artists and patrons of art, to whom
he communicated his ideas; thus originated
the work published by his son, "Het Groot
Schilderboek." His three brothers, Ernst,
Jakob, and Jan, were all painters, and his
sons, Abraham, Gerard, and Jan, were his
pupils and imitators. Works: Institution
of the Eucharist, Cleopatra landing at Tarsus,
