Dans la vie de Gerard de Lairesse
La vie entière1664
Flight from Liège and Marriage to Marie Salme
He fled Liège after an affair with two sisters, his models, ended in scandal. He headed north with Marie Salme and married her in Visé; the couple settled in Utrecht, where a son was baptized in April 1665.
1667
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.
by 1690
Total Blindness and the End of His Painting Career
Suffering from hereditary syphilis, he had gone completely blind by 1690 and was forced to give up painting. He concentrated on twice-weekly lectures at his home, gathering many pupils and followers; his son Johannes took notes of the lectures.
1701
Foundations of Drawing (Grondlegginge ter teekenkonst)
Based on the lecture notes, the book Foundations of Drawing was published, becoming a kind of manifesto of Dutch academicism.
1707
The Great Book of Painting (Het groot schilderboeck)
The Great Book of Painting was published in Amsterdam in two parts; in it Lairesse condemned the naturalism of Rembrandt, Brouwer, van Ostade, and Hals and championed elevated biblical and mythological subjects. The book was reprinted many times, translated into German, English, and French, and exerted a great influence on eighteenth-century art.
