Anthonie Palamedesz

Anthonie Palamedesz., a pupil of Frans and Dirck Hals in Haarlem in the early 17th century, had his own students by 1621 in Delft. He painted several such musical scenes as The Musical Company, and he reused in other paintings the figure of the bass viol player with his back to the audience. He rendered exquisitely dressed people, sometimes with musical instruments in lavish music rooms. He reveals the higher strata of Dutch life and the Netherlands interior, as well as the Dutch taste for musical subjects.
