About Constantin Netscher

  • Biography

    Born in The Hague, Constantijn Netscher is recorded for his portraits, historical allegories and italianate landscapes. He was the son and pupil of the painter Caspar Netscher, a renowned portrait artist who was born in Heidelberg and later settled in the Hague. Constantijn was also primarily a portrait artist, but his lighter palette and penchant for opulent drapery and rich costumes already places him stylistically among the artists of the 18th century.

    Since 1686, he was a member of the guild at The Hague. Netscher was also a court painter in Württemberg and a very sought after portrait painter in his day.
