Aert de Gelder - Self-Portrait

Aert de Gelder (Dutch: [ˈaːr(d) də ˈɣɛldər] ⓘ; October 26, 1645 – August 27, 1727), also known as Arent de Gelder, was a Dutch painter, the only Dutch artist to paint in the tradition of Rembrandt's late style into the 18th century.

Biography

De Gelder was born and died in Dordrecht.

He first studied with Samuel Dirksz van Hoogstraten, one of Rembrandt's pupils and a fellow Dordrecht native, who sent him to his teacher. De Gelder was one of Rembrandt's last pupils, some say his last, studying in his studio in Amsterdam from 1661 to 1663. After Rembrandt's death in 1669, he returned to Dordrecht, where he lived the rest of his life.

He painted mostly biblical works and portraits. His paintings include The Baptism of Christ and Ahimelech Giving the Sword of Goliath to David.
