Backer, Jacob (1608–51). Dutch portrait and history painter, active mainly in Amsterdam, where he had a prosperous career. The tradition (stemming from
Houbraken) that he was a pupil of
Rembrandt is now doubted, but his work was certainly strongly influenced by him; indeed, attributions have sometimes been disputed between them (see
Bol). His best-known painting is the beautiful
Portrait of a Boy in Grey (1634, Mauritshuis, The Hague). His nephew,
Adriaen Backer (1630/2–84), also had a successful career as a portraitist in Amsterdam.
