About Govert van der Leeuw
Lived 1645 – 1688 (aged 42). Govert van der Leeuw was a Dutch painter.
Gabriel, or Govert van der Leeuw (1645–1688), was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.
Biography He was the brother of Pieter van der Leeuw, and they learned to paint from their father, the painter Bastiaan Govertsz van der Leeuw, who had been a pupil of Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp. As a young man he traveled to Amsterdam, where he married the sister of David van der Plas. He was influenced not only by Roos and Castiglione, but also by Pieter Mulier II and Luca Giordano. He signed his works 'gvd leeu' or in Italy, 'G De Leone'. The RKD claims he married in 1684, not before he started his journey, as Houbraken claimed.
