Judith Jans Leyster

1609-1660 Holland/Baroque

 

Brief Biography-Judith Jans Leyster and her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer, were genre painters from Haarlem. Frans Hals may have tutored the two; her husband’s work shows Hal’s influence in his early paintings. Judith was a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Haarlem. She gained renown because of a lawsuit against Hals over admitting one of her students into his studio. After her death, many of her works remained attributed to her husband or Hals for over two hundred years. Her paintings hang in the world’s principal galleries.
