Dutch, 1603–1677
Aert van der Neer (c. 1603 – 9 November 1677) was a Dutch landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age, born in Gorinchem. He was known for small night scenes illuminated by moonlight or fire, and for snowy winter landscapes, often featuring canals or rivers. Van der Neer lived in Amsterdam, struggled financially, and supplemented his income by running a wine tavern, but died in poverty. He was married to Lysbeth Camphuysen and had six children, including Eglon, who became a portrait painter.
