Nicolaes Berchem Biography

(bapt Haarlem, 1 Oct 1620; d Amsterdam, 18 Feb 1683). Dutch painter, draughtsman and etcher, son of PIETER CLAESZ. He was one of the most talented, versatile and well-paid artists of his time. A prolific member of the second generation of DUTCH ITALIANATES, Berchem also produced scenes of his native landscape, winter landscapes, night scenes, hunts, battles, imaginary Mediterranean harbours, complex allegories, as well as history paintings. According to Hofstede de Groot, his oeuvre amounts to c . 857 paintings, and while this estimate is inflated by numerous misattributions, Berchem was undoubtedly a prolific artist. He also made more than 300 drawings and around 50 etchings, mostly of animal subjects. In addition, he painted the staffage in the works of such artists as Jacob van Ruisdael (e.g. the Great Oak , 1652; Birmingham, Mus. & A.G.), Meindert Hobbema, Willem Schellinks, Allaert van Everdingen and Jan Hackaert. Furthermore, Berchem collaborated with Gerrit Dou, Jan Wils (c . 1610–66) and Jan Baptist Weenix the elder.
