Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627-1678), a name to remember. He learned and worked with Rembrandt, in the pupils’ studio of the Rembrandt House. Of all Rembrandt's students, he became the most successful. During his lifetime, that is. Because, after the 17th century, he was forgotten by the general public, despite the fact that he was a learned artist who constantly experimented with different subjects and optical tricks. He was a pioneer of illusionism: the 3D artist of his time. Later in life, he wrote a famous book full of instruction for new generations of painters. This was his intellectual masterpiece. High time or a renewed introduction.
