pieter de hooch
Pieter de Hooch was a leading 17th-century Dutch painter, a master of genre scenes and interior painting during the Dutch Golden Age. His works are subtle observations of everyday life, imbued with warmth and harmony. Small in format, they are distinguished by meticulous finish and fine detail. De Hooch’s style is easily recognised from his masterful depiction of interiors, the play of sunlight, and his skillful use of linear and aerial perspective.

His main themes include domestic scenes, courtyard views, and intimate family moments — often featuring open doors and windows that create a “painting within a painting” effect. What makes his technique unique is his use of multiple light sources and complex spatial compositions that imbue his works with a sense of depth.
Such celebrated paintings as A Dutch Courtyard and Interior with a Woman Weighing Gold Coin demonstrate his mastery of composition and light. His works are held in major institutions such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid.
