Brief Biography-Willem Drost was a history painter and portraitist. He was born in Amsterdam of German descent; however, it is only speculation. He was a disciple of Rembrandt, who strongly influenced his work. Several of his works attributed to Rembrandt are still in dispute. He travelled to Rome, where he became acquainted with Johann Carl Loth and other Dutch artists, including Lieve Verschuier. Loth also influenced his work, which is considered superior in quality to Rembrandt’s. He died in Rome in 1659. |
