Biography
Barent Fabricius was born on November 16, 1624 in Bemster.
In 1657-59 he lived in Leiden , where he was a member of the guild of St. Bows . From the dates affixed to the paintings that have come down to our time, it can be seen that he worked back in 1672. In these paintings he is very uneven: he is a wonderful master close to Rembrandt , distinguished by his freedom and softness of the brush, the brilliance of the golden general tone of colors and perfectly played out by chiaroscuro, then by a mediocre draftsman, a bit dry on the brush, falling into an unnaturally red tone and an unpleasant bluish blackness of shadows.
The best of his works: “The Apostle Peter in the House of Cornelia” ( Braunschweig Gallery), “Portrait of the Family of the Architect v.d. Helm” (Amsterdam Museum), “Mercury and Argus” (Kassel Gallery), “The Family at the Table” ( small picture in the Stockholm Museum), “Half-length portrait of a shepherd” ( Vienna Academy of Arts ), “The Presentation of the Lord” (at the Shtedelevsky Institute of Art , Frankfurt), “Adoration of the Shepherds” ( London National Gallery ) and “The Nativity of John the Baptist” (ibid.).
Barent Fabricius died on October 20, 1673 in the city of Amsterdam.
