Artist: Pieter Fransz de Grebber - Title: Baptism of Christ - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 32 inches x 20.5 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Pieter de Grebber was a Dutch Golden Age painter, born in Haarlem around 1600, the eldest son of the devout Catholic history and portrait painter Frans Pietersz de Grebber. No Haarlem painter profited more from this patronage than De Grebber who, in addition to great artistic talent, had close family ties with the clergy. He received numerous commissions from many clandestine churches outside of Haarlem as well, and painted some altarpieces for churches in Bruges and Ghent. De Grebber became the leading representative of a style of history painting now known as Haarlem Classicism, which was inspired by the classicizing Baroque style that Peter Paul Rubens had introduced into Southern Netherlandish painting.
