Larousse. VOIS, ARIE (Adriaan) DE, born in Ley- den in 1641, died there in 1698 (?). Dutch school ; history, portrait, genre, and land- scape painter, pupil of Nicolas Knupfer in Utrecht and of Abraham van den Tetnpel at Leyden ; further developed under influence of Gerard Dou and Frans van Mieris. He painted, with minute finish, chiefly half- length nude figures, in landscapes after the manner of Poelenburg, animated in concep- tion and clear and warm in colouring. A rich marriage led him into idleness for thir- teen years, until need compelled him to de- vote himself again to art. The pictures of his last period pass for his best.
