Jacob Ochtervelt Biography

(bapt Rotterdam, 1 Feb 1634; d Amsterdam, 1682). Dutch painter. According to Houbraken, he and Pieter de Hooch were fellow students of the Dutch Italianate Nicolaes Berchem in Haarlem, probably between 1646, when Berchem returned from Italy, and 1655, when Ochtervelt married Dirkje Meesters in the Dutch Reformed Church in Rotterdam. Ochtervelt’s earliest known works reveal the influences of a number of Dutch Italianate painters. Landscapes with figures, such as Hunters and Shepherds in a Landscape (1652; Karl-Marx-Stadt, Städt. Kstsamml.), owe much to Berchem in subject and composition. They may also have been partly inspired by similar landscapes by Jan Baptist Weenix and Ludolf de Jongh. Towards the mid-1650s Ochtervelt began painting garden scenes (e.g. Musical Trio in a Garden , c. 1654–5; Brunswick, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Mus.) with classical architectural motifs and large, almost sculpturally modelled figures, which recall both the full-length Roman genre paintings of Karel Dujardin and the theatrically illuminated figure-pieces of the Utrecht Caravaggisti.
