    List of Dutch painters

    This is a list of Dutch painters who were born and/or were primarily active in the Netherlands. For artists born and active in the Southern Netherlands, see the List of Flemish painters. The artists are sorted by century and then alphabetically by last name. In general, artists are included that are mentioned at the ArtCyclopedia[1] website, in the Grove Dictionary of Art,[2] and/or whose paintings regularly sell for over $20,000 at auctions.[3] Active painters are therefore underrepresented, while more than half of the artists are baroque painters of the 17th century, roughly corresponding to the Dutch Golden Age. The names of older artists often have many different spellings; the preferred spelling is used as listed in the Netherlands Institute for Art History[4] database, but several painters are listed twice when their common alternative names are alphabetically far apart.

    Now coming up for auction in November 2023 at De Zwaan Amsterdam, with the sitter identified as “Ida Maria Cromhout cleaning herring in the courtyard of her house on Herengracht”. I wonder what research led to this identification! Wasn’t mentioned in the earlier auction.

    Looking into the life of Ida Maria Cromhout, we find she was a daughter of Jacob Cromhout and Margaretha Wuytiers. The family lived on Herengracht 366, which is one of four connected buildings called “Cromhout Houses” after the extremely wealthy catholic merchant Jacob Cromhout who commissioned them in 1662 from famous architect Philips Vingboons.

    Originally a coach house belonged to Herengracht 366, Huidenstraat 16. If the identification of the sitter and location are correct, could this be th
