BOURSSE, ESAIAS (1630-1673)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 334 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOURSSE, ESAIAS (1630-1673) , Dutch painter, was born in
Amsterdam
 . He was a follower of Pieter de Hooch, in whose manner he worked for many years in his native town; then he took service with the Dutch
East
  India Company, and died on a sea voyage. His paintings are exceedingly rare, perhaps because, in spite of their greater freedom and breadth, many of them pass under the names of Vermeer of Delft and Pieter de Hooch. Two of the paintings ascribed to the latter (one bears the false signature) at the Ryks museum in
Amsterdam
 , are now recognized as being the
work
  of
Boursse
 . His subjects are interiors with figures, painted with
great
  precision and with exquisite quality of colour. The
Wallace
  collection has his masterpiece, an interior with a woman and a child in a cradle, almost as brilliant as on the day it was painted, and reflecting something of the feeling of
Rembrandt
 , by whom he was influenced. Other important examples are at the Ryks museum and at Aix-la-Chapelle.
Boursse
 's " Boy blowing Soap Bubbles," in the Berlin museum, was until lately attributed to Vermeer of Delft. More than one picture bearing the false signature of Boursse have been publicly shown of
late
  years.
