Barent Gael ( – 1698) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.
Biography
Gael was born in Haarlem. According to Houbraken, he was a pupil of Philips Wouwerman, who painted many battle pieces and ''staging areas'' (Dutch: ''pleisterplaatsen''). He was in the habit of keeping his own schedule at the risk of offending customers – Houbraken relates a moment when a patron came to his house for a viewing and he claimed he "wasn't at home". The patron was so insulted that when Gael came to him with the finished painting, he claimed he was now "not at home" and refused payment.Barent Gael Biographyin ''De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen'' (1718) by Arnold Houbraken, courtesy of the
