Collection: Abraham Bloemaert

Abraham Bloemaert (25 December 1566 – 27 January 1651) was a Dutch painter and printmaker who used etching and engraving. He initially worked in the style of the "Haarlem Mannerists", but by the beginning of the 17th-century altered his style in line with the new Baroque style that was then developing. He mostly painted history subjects and some landscapes. He was an important teacher, training most of the Utrecht Caravaggisti.

Gerrit Hendricksz. Splinter, Jean Bassot, and Cornelis Bloemaert taught him. His best-known works include Apollo and Diana Punishing Niobe by Killing her Children, A feast of the gods, The feast of the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, and Theagenes receiving the palm of honour from Chariclea. He focused on history painting, vanitas, and genre painting. He is identified with Utrecht Caravaggism and Mannerism.

He belongs to the Renaissance movement.
