Hele livet1664

Portrait by Rembrandt
Around 1665 Rembrandt painted a portrait of Lairesse; it clearly shows his saddle nose, the mark of the artist's congenital disease.

Move to Amsterdam
When the art dealer Gerrit van Uylenburgh discovered Gerard's talent, the artist moved to Amsterdam. He arrived with a violin, and his playing impressed Jan van Pee at Uylenburgh's studio.
