Art Appreciation
Dutch painter Govert Flinck was born on January 25, 1615. A pupil of Rembrandt, Flinck's work followed the style of his teacher; Rembrandtesque.
A Baroque painter of portraits, genre, and narrative subjects, Flinck is recognized as a history painter. His popularity among aristocrats led to many commissions for official and diplomatic paintings.
