LASTMAN, PIETER, born in Amsterdam(?)
between 1580 and 1584, died at
Haarlem in 1649(?). Dutch school; history
painter, pupil of Gerrit Pieterz, on leaving
whose studio, between 1600 and 1602, he
went to Rome, where for many years he was
one of the Dutch and Flemish artists who
grouped themselves about Elsheimer and
regarded him as their master. Before 1622
Lastman must have returned to Amsterdam,
as in that year, or the next Rembrandt became
his pupil there. Three pictures painted
in Italy may be taken as examples of
Lastman's first manner, namely: Repose in
Egypt (1608), Rotterdam Museum; do.
(1608), and Philip baptizing the Eunuch
(1608), Berlin Museum. In his second
transitional manner, under Italian influence,
are Ulysses and Nausicaä (1609), Brunswick
Museum; replica (1619), Augsburg Gallery;
Massacre of the Innocents, and David
playing the Harp (1618), Brunswick Museum.
In his third (style of Caravaggio),
Manoah and his Wife, formerly in Rotterdam
Museum; Adoration of the Shepherds
(1629), Haarlem Museum; Raising of Lazarus
(1632), Hague Museum. Other works
in public galleries: Herodias receiving the
Head of St. John, Aschaffenburg Gallery;
Ulysses and Nausicaä (1619), Augsburg
Gallery; Apollo and the Muses, Cassel Gallery;
Tobias (1618), Moltke Collection, Copenhagen.—Allgem.
