Allegory of anger
Willem van Mieris (3 June 1662 - 26 January 1747) was an 18th-century painter from the Northern
Netherlands.
Biography
He was born in Leiden as the son of Frans van Mieris sr. and brother of Jan van Mieris.[1] He was a member of the Leiden Guild of St. Luke and a founding member of the Leidse Tekenacademie which opened in 1694.[1] His pupils were Catharina Backer, Abraham Alensoon, and Hieronymous van de Mij.[1] He retired in 1736 because he was partially blind.[2] He died, aged 84, in Leiden.[1]
His works are extremely numerous and show the influence of Francis van Bossuit as well as his father.[1] As an artist, he did not equal his father.[3]
van Mieris has works in the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as Cheltenham and Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
