SCHALCKEN, GODFRIED (1643-1706)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCHALCKEN, GODFRIED (1643-1706) , Dutch genre and portrait painter, was born at Dort in 1643, and studied under
Hoogstraten
 , and afterwards under
Gerhard
  Douw, whose works his earlier genre-pictures very closely resemble. He visited England and painted several portraits, of which the half-length of
William
  III., now in the Museum,
Amsterdam
 , is a good example. In this
work
  he shows an effect of candle-light, which he also introducedfrequently with fine effectin many of his subject-pictures. These may be studied in the collections at
Buckingham
  Palace, the Louvre, Vienna and Dresden. His Scriptural subjects are of very indifferent merit. He died at The Hague in 1706.
