Pieter Codde (born December 11, 1599 in Amsterdam ; † October 12, 1678 ibid) was a Dutch painter , mainly of genre paintings and portraits . He also worked as a poet.
Life
It is sometimes assumed that he studied together with Frans Hals , but it is more likely that he trained with the portrait painter Barent van Someren (1572–1632) or possibly with Cornelis van der Voort (1576–1624). His earliest known work, Portrait of a Young Man , dates back to 1626 and is now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford .
Most of his better-known works were created in Amsterdam and are small-format paintings. Many of them have thematic references to music, such as his first well-known genre painting, The Dance Lesson ( Louvre ) of 1627, Musical Society of 1639, The Lute Player ( Philadelphia Museum of Art ), and The Concert , which is now at the Uffizi . The second picture by Codde hanging in the Uffizi is also a genre painting, The Entertainment . Codde also painted historically religious pictures, such as his Adoration of the Shepherds from 1645, in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
