Dutch painter, probably a pupil of
Rembrandt. He painted history paintings (especially biblical subjects). His small biblical and allegorical pictures can be connected with Rembrandt s last years in Leiden and first years in Amsterdam, but it is not known if he actually worked in Rembrandt s studio.
In his late phase de Poorter also created
still-lifes. His still-life paintings of flags and military equipment piled in dramatically lit grottoes hover between the works of Rembrandt and
Bramer, without ever capturing the intensity of the former or the fantasy of the latter.
