About Pieter de Hooch

Pieter Hendricksz. de Hooch (Dutch: [ˈpitər ˈɦɛndrɪksoːn də ˈɦoːx]; also spelled Hoogh or Hooghe; bapt. 20 December 1629 – in or after 1679), was a Dutch Golden Age painter famous for his genre works of quiet domestic scenes with an open doorway. He was a contemporary, in the Delft Guild of St. Luke, of Jan Vermeer with whom his work shares themes and style. De Hooch was first recorded in Delft on 5 August 1652, when he and another painter, Hendrick van der Burgh witnessed the signing of a will. He was last documented in 1679, but his date of death is unknown (his son Pieter died in 1684, a date often wrongly given for the father).
