Gerard or Gérard (de) Lairesse (11 September 1641 – June 1711) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and art theorist. His broad range of talent included music, poetry, and theatre. De Lairesse was influenced by the Perugian Cesare Ripa 〔(Groot schilderboek by Gérard de Lairesse )〕〔(Lyckle de Vries "De Lairesse on the theory and practice" )〕 and French classicist painters as Charles le Brun, Simon Vouet and authors as Pierre Corneille and Jean Racine. His importance grew in the period following the death of Rembrandt. His treatises on painting and drawing, ''Grondlegginge der teekenkonst'' (1701), based on geometry and ''Groot Schilderboek'' (1707), were highly influential on 18th-century painters. ==Painting career== De Lairesse was born in Liège and was the second son of painter Renier de Lairesse (1597-1667). He studied art under his father and from 1655 at Bertholet Flemalle.〔(Gerard de Laires biography ) in ''De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen'' (1718) by Arnold Houbraken, courtesy of the Digital library for Dutch literature〕 He worked in Cologne and Aix-la-Chapelle for Maximilian Henry of Bavaria in 1660. In 1664 De Lairesse fled from Liège after an affair with two sisters, his models, went wrong. He traveled north with a girl named Marie Salme and married her in Visé. The couple settled in Utrecht, where a son was baptized in April 1665. When his talent was discovered by the art dealer Gerrit van Uylenburgh, he moved quickly to Amsterdam. De Lairesse arrived with his violin, with which he impressed Jan van Pee and probably Anthonie Claesz. de Grebber in Uylenburgh's studio.〔Lammertse, F. & J. van der Veen (2006) Uylenburgh & Zoon. Kunst en commercie van Rembrandt tot Lairesse, p. 217.〕 In 1667 De Lairesse became a poorter, living on Nieuwmarkt.〔http://burckhardt.ic.uva.nl/〕 In 1670 a son Abraham was born; the engraver Abraham Blooteling, with whom he collaborated, was the witness;〔(Amsterdam City Archives )〕 another son was baptized in 1673.〔(Amsterdam City Archives )〕 In 1671, when Van Uylenburgh tried to sell 13 paintings to Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, Hendrick Fromantiou successfully advised the Elector to send 12 pieces back as forgeries. Fromantiou claimed the paintings were copies of Italian ones, and he could point out the originals in Holland. Included in the 51 people involved in the expertise, was De Lairesse. At some time De Lairesse moved to Spinhuissteeg; he became a member of the literary society "Nil Volentibus Arduum", which seems to have gathered in his house from 1676 till 1681.〔(Triumpf of Peace )〕 In 1682 he sold copied of sheet music, composed by Lully.〔J.H. GISKES (1994) Amsterdam, centrum van muziek, muzikanten en schilders in de Gouden Eeuw, p. 51-54. In: Jaarboek Amstelodamum.〕 In May 1684 he rented the nearby house of Caspar Barlaeus.〔Maandblad Amstelodamum 1949, p. 59.〕 His pupils Philip Tideman and Louis Abry lived there too. De Lairesse produced paintings for the decoration of Soestdijk Palace between 1676 and 1683. In 1684 he moved to the Hague and worked there for a year. In the Binnenhof he decorated a hall, which is named after him, with an "Allegory of Justice". In 1685 he painted works for the Loo Palace. In 1687 he was visited by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. On 27 November 1693, (son ) Abraham de Lairesse, from Amsterdam, painter, 27 (sic!) years old, living on the O.Z. Achterburgwal, assisted by his mother Maria Salme, was legally engaged to Johanna van Bevere, from Amsterdam. In 1697 he sold sheet music for his son Abraham who also sold (lined) paper and music sheets.〔 Within a few years De Lairesse would change environment again and move to Prinsengracht, closer to his son.
