Bramer, Leonaert (b Delft, 24 Dec. 1596; bur. Delft, 10 Feb. 1674). Dutch genre and history painter. He worked mainly in Delft, but he travelled widely in Italy and France, 1614–28, and drew on a variety of influences for his most characteristic paintings—small nocturnal scenes with vivid effects of light. Works such as the Scene of Sorcery (Mus. B.-A., Bordeaux) have earned him the reputation of ‘an interesting independent who cannot be pigeonholed’ ( Seymour Slive, Dutch Painting: 1600–1800, 1995). Bramer was also one of the few Dutch artists to paint frescos in Holland, but none of his work in the medium has survived. In 1653, when Vermeer's future mother-in-law was trying to prevent him from marrying her daughter, Bramer came to the young man's defence. Because of this, it has been plausibly suggested that he may have been Vermeer's teacher.
