Samuel van Hoogstraten ( Protected content ), a name to remember. He studied and worked with Rembrandt, in the student studio of the Rembrandt House. Of all Rembrandt's students, he was the most successful. In his own time, that is. Because after the 17th century he lost his fame with the general public. And that while he was a learned artist who constantly experimented with different subjects and optical tricks. In the field of illusionism he was even a pioneer: the 3D artist of his time. He also wrote a famous book full of lessons for a new generation of painters at a late age - his intellectual masterpiece. High time for a renewed introduction.
