Ferdinand Bol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferdinand Bol (June 24, 1616 – August 24, 1680) was a Dutch artist, etcher, and draftsman.
Bol was born in Dordrecht. He was an apprentice of Rembrandt van Rijn; many of his paintings would in the 19th century be falsely attributed to his master. Bol was around 1660 a very fashionable painter, but lost popularity after 1669. He died in Amsterdam where a street, "Ferdinand Bolstraat", is named after him.
