Of German origin, according to Arnold Houbraken he was born in Heidelberg in 1639 although other sources indicate Prague as his birthplace.1 Son of Johann Netscher, a sculptor, after being orphaned in 1642 he was adopted by Arnold Tulleken, a doctor from Arnhem, and there he began his painting studies in the workshop of Hendrick Coster, a little-known portrait painter. Around 1654 he went to Deventer to continue his studies with Gerard ter Borch and then to Bordeaux, where he arrived by ship apparently with the intention of going to Rome. Instead, in 1659, still in Bordeaux, he married Margaretha Godijn, the daughter of a mathematician, and their first child was born there. In 1662 he settled in The Hague, initially devoting himself to genre painting. Influenced by ter Borch and the so-called "Fijnschilders", the precious painters of the Leiden school, Netscher gradually paid attention to the textures of fabrics and other elegant details with which he would also characterise the subjects of his portraits, usually also in small format. By 1670 he had completely abandoned genre painting and devoted himself exclusively to portraits, with which he had notable success in the aristocratic circles of The Hague, even painting William III, Prince of Orange, later King of England (Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum). In 1668 Cosimo III de Médicis, travelling through the Netherlands, bought four of his paintings.3
It is likely that Netscher knew the painters Frans van Mieris the Elder and Gerard Dou, but it is certain that he met Gerrit de Hooch, a painter from The Hague, since his wife named Gerrit's newborn daughter, Margaretha, after him in 1676.4 He enjoyed the patronage of William III and his earnings soon allowed him to apply himself to work according to his own taste, devoting himself to group portraits.
It was in these that Netscher's genius was fully displayed. The choice of these subjects and the habit of presenting female figures dressed in elegant satin fabrics, in imitation of Ter Borch, make use of easy but delicate drawing, brilliant and correct colouring and an alternation of light and shade; but his refinement often turns into weakness. The painter was gaining fame and wealth when he began to suffer from gout and was forced to stay in bed, where he continued to paint lying down. He died prematurely in 1684, in The Hague.
His sons, Theodorus Netscher (Bordeaux, 1661-Hulst, 1732), Constantyn (The Hague, 1668-1722) and Anthonie (The Hague, 1679-Batavia, 1713), were also painters. He also had a large number of pupils among whom, in addition to his sons, one could find Aleida Wolfsen.

Peter Paul Rubens Circle of "Saint Catherine " Never Restored First Canvas

Never Restored First Canvas
Oil on canvas

The work is based on the painting by Peter Paul Rubens and engraved by Schelte von Bolswert.
Rubens, known as "the Prince of the Baroque", was the great master who revolutionized both Flemish and European painting. His first training took place thanks to the masters Otto van Veen and Jan Brueghel the Elder. His trip to Italy, where he stayed, studied and painted for eight years, was fundamental to his artistic growth. His first stop was Venice, where Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto studied. He later came into contact with Vincenzo I Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, becoming the court painter of the family, a position he held until the end of his stay in Italy. In Mantua, Rubens had the opportunity to study the rich ducal collection closely and assiduously. By making copies of several famous paintings he was able to practice technically on the examples of the greatest masters. In 1601 he was sent by the duke to Rome, where he was able to further broaden his figurative horizons thanks to the copying of the models of Michelangelo and Raphael and the study of the ancient, also looking at the contemporary artistic production of Carracci, Caravaggio and Federico Barocci. After leaving Italy, he settled in Antwerp, where he organized his atelier, applying the methods of organized production, that is, employing his collaborators with rational criteria and on the basis of individual specializations. Among the many painters who came out of Rubens' workshop or were strongly influenced by the master, we remember: Cornelis and Paul de Vos, Jacob Jordaens, Pieter Van Mol, Victor Wolvoet, Joanna Vergouwen, Jan Boeckhorst known as Lange Jan, Lucas Van Uden, Theodor Van Thulden, Peter Van Lint, Willem Van Harp, Vincent Adrianssen, Pieter Van Avont, Jan and Hendrick van Balen, Theodor Boeyemans or Boeijermans, Vincent Malò...
