Hendrick Cornelisz. Van Vliet
Hendrick Corneliszoon van Vliet (1611/1612, Delft – buried October 28, 1675, Delft) was a Dutch Golden Age painter remembered mostly for his church interiors. Biography He studied under his uncle Willem van der Vliet and was admitted to the painters guild in Delft in 1632. He was good at perspective but later took up portrait painting with Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt. Van Vliet started out with architectural painting, particularly the painting of church interiors. Before him, architectural painting had been pioneered by Pieter Saenredam, who introduced innovative techniques of perspective. By mid century, architectural painting gained great popularity. Among the churches painted by Van Vliet are the ''Pieterskerk'' (Peter's Church) in Leiden, the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Delft, and the Oude Kerk (Old Church) in Delft (Van Vliet would be buried in the latter in 1675).

Dutch Golden Age Painters
Dutch Golden Age painting is the painting of the Dutch Golden Age, a period in Dutch history roughly spanning the 17th century, during and after the later part of the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) for Dutch independence. The new Dutch Republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe and led European trade, science, and art. The northern Netherlandish provinces that made up the new state had traditionally been less important artistic centres than cities in Flanders in the south. The upheavals and large-scale transfers of population of the war, and the sharp break with the old monarchist and Catholic cultural traditions, meant that Dutch art had to reinvent itself almost entirely, a task in which it was very largely successful. The painting of religious subjects declined very sharply, but a large new market for all kinds of secular subjects grew up. Although Dutch painting of the Golden Age is included in the general European period of Baroque painting, and often shows many o ...

Portrait Of A Woman (van Vliet)
''Portrait of a Woman'' is a 1641 oil on panel painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet, now in Room 249 of the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg. Its subject is unknown, but a signature, date and inscription at bottom left shows she was thirty years old at the time - this is corroborated by her costume, which was in fashion in the 1640s. I. A. Sokolova, curator of Dutch paintings in the Hermitage, notes that “in the modeling of the face, monochrome parallel strokes in form are clearly visible, which have emerged as a result of the thinned upper paint layer”.
