Eglon van der Neer

Eglon van der Neer (1635/36, Amsterdam – May 3, 1703, Düsseldorf) is a painter of the Dutch Golden Age, son of the painter Aernout van der Neer. First painter of historical scenes and portraits, he then turned to landscape painting.
During the first period of his career, in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, van der Neer painted mostly genre scenes and portraits that show his ability to use a wide variety of different styles …
Most van der Neer paintings are small and show a very applied and finished style. Nevertheless, when the scene or the command imposed it, he was also able to realize tables of bigger format.                               [Wikipedia]
