Eeckhout, Gerbrand van den

The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | | Â© The Oxford Dictionary of Art 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Eeckhout, Gerbrand van den (b Amsterdam, 19 Aug. 1621; d Amsterdam, 22 Sept. 1674). Dutch painter. He was a pupil of Rembrandt and, according to Houbraken, his ‘great friend’. His religious paintings were deeply influenced by Rembrandt; St Peter Healing the Cripple (1667, M. H. de Young Memorial Mus., San Francisco), for example, shows how well he understood the broad touch and warm colours of the master's mature works. Eeckhout's genre scenes, on the other hand, are close to Terborch in style (The Music Lesson, 1655, Statens Mus., Copenhagen). His other works included portraits and a few landscapes. He also made etchings and was a prolific draughtsman.
