Caspar Netscher Biography

(b ?Heidelberg, 1639; d The Hague, 15 Jan 1684). Dutch painter of German origin. His father was the German sculptor Johann Netscher (d c . 1641) and his mother the daughter of Vetter, Mayor of Heidelberg. At an early age Caspar came to Arnhem, where he was apprenticed to Hendrik Coster, a little-known still-life and portrait painter (fl 1638–59). About 1654 Netscher moved to Deventer, where he completed his training in the workshop of Gerard ter Borch (ii). A number of signed and, occasionally, dated copies by Netscher after ter Borch survive from this period, such as the copy (1655; Gotha, Schloss Friedenstein) after ter Borch’s Parental Admonition (c. 1654; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.) and a freely handled version (1659; untraced) of ter Borch’s Doctor’s Visit (1635; Berlin, Gemäldegal.). Netscher’s first independent compositions, for example the small pendants Portrait of a Man and Portrait of a Woman (both 1656; Utrecht, Cent. Mus.), were strongly influenced by ter Borch. That these works are all fully signed suggests that Netscher held a special position in his master’s workshop.
