Live and act
The painter Johannes Voorhout was the son of the Amsterdam master watchmaker Cornelis Voorhout. Johannes Voorhout's apprenticeship began with five years in Gouda , followed by another five years in Amsterdam with Johannes van Noort. In 1670 Voorhout married in Amsterdam. In the next few years he worked in Hamburg . In 1707 he moved back to Amsterdam, where he died in 1723. Voorhout is a typical representative of Amsterdam history painting at the end of the 17th century. He also created genre pieces in the style of Caspar Netscher and Gerard ter Borch . The collections of the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum include a large painting by Voorhout and three small works that the painter created for Petronella Oortman's dollhouse. His painting Domestic Music Scene from 1674 is in the Museum of Hamburg History . The picture - an allegory of friendship - not only shows the Hamburg organist and composer Johann Adam Reincken , but is also the only picture that shows the composer and organist Dieterich Buxtehude .
