SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
A painter of the old Northern Netherlands, Pieter Wouwerman was born in Haarlem on 13 September 1623 and died in Amsterdam on 9 May 1682; his name also appears in the form Pieter Pauwelsz. Wouwerman.
According to the biographical source that refers to the RKD, he trained with Roelant Roghman, his elder brother Philips and his father, named Pouwels. His career is associated with Haarlem, where he joined the painters’ guild in 1646, and later with Amsterdam, where he settled in 1657; Paris is also among the places linked to his activity.
His work consists mainly of scenes with horses and landscapes, as well as hunting and war scenes. Public collections associated with his name include, in particular, the Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Hermitage Museum and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
