Gijsbert Verhoek

Gysbert, or Gijsbert Verhoek (1644 in Bodegraven – 1690 in Amsterdam), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

Biography According to Houbraken he was the younger brother (by 11 years) of the glass painter Pieter Verhoek, who learned to paint from Jacob van der Ulft in Gorinchem. He learned to paint from his brother Pieter, who had moved to Amsterdam to take up marble-painting, an interior decoration form that had become more fashionable than glass painting. He became a follower of Jacques Courtois and painted horsemen and cavalry scenes. He was buried in the Nieuwezijds Kapel.
