Um þessa rafbók

A master of the Dutch Golden Age, Gerard ter Borch was a Baroque painter that developed his own distinctive type of genre painting, in which he depicted the elegant atmosphere of seventeenth century middle-class and aristocratic life. His delicate technique was often executed in a small, almost miniature scale. Ter Borch is celebrated for his mastery of rendering diverse surface textures, especially satin and silk, achieving an extraordinary richness of effect. His inimitable genre scenes would go on to inspire De Hooch, Metsu and Vermeer.
