 Having spent two years in Rome, one year in Padua, and two years in Venice, he went in 1680 to Hamburg, and resided there and in Copenhagen until 1685, when he settled in Amsterdam, in the house of Gerard de Lairesse, who painted figures in his landscapes. His pictures show a conception kindred to Poussin, combining elevated composition with excellent drawing. In colouring, chiaroscuro, and individuality, he often surpassed his model.
