Dutch school ; history, genre, and portrait painter, pupil of Abraham Bloc- mart, but spent several years in Rome, where he studied the pictures of Caravaggio, and found a patron in the Marchese Giusti- niani. As he painted many night scenes lighted by torches or candles, he was sur- named Gherardo dalle Notti. After his re- turn lie worked (1619-20) at the court of King Frederic; in Prague, Liter for Charles I. in England, where in 1(128 he exe- cuted portraits and historical paintings for the Banqueting Hall, Whitehall. He was fret; of the Utrecht guild in 1G2:), and at The Hague in l(i:'>7. In 1G45 50 he worked chiefly for the princes of Orange, but also painted a series of pictures from Danish history for the King of Denmark, and in his later years a number of portraits for Frederick William, Elector <>f Brandenburg. His early pictures are preferable to those painted after his journey to Italy (1612- 15), where he imitated Caravaggio and Correggio in his night pieces, Rubens in his historical paintings, and Mierevelt in his portraits. He worked very rapidly. His numerous works are markedly realistic, show skilful arrangement, good drawing, and pow- erful chiaroscuro, but they are deficient in elevation. Works : Lute-Player (1614).
