Wierix. He subsequently became a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of Willem Willemz and Augusteyn of Delft, until Anthonie van Montfoort (Blocklandt), who had seen and admired two of Mierevelt's See also:early engravings, " See also:Christ and the Samaritan " and " See also:Judith and Holofernes," invited him to enter his school at See also:Utrecht. Devoting himself first to still See also:life, he eventually took up See also:portraiture, in which he achieved such success that the many commissions entrusted to him necessitated the employment of numerous assistants, by whom hundreds of portraits were turned out in factory See also:fashion. The See also:works that can with certainty be ascribed to his own See also:brush are remarkable for their sincerity, severe See also:drawing and harmonious See also:colour, but comparatively few of the two thousand or more portraits that See also:bear
his name are wholly his own handiwork. He settled down in his native See also:town, but went frequently to The See also:Hague, where he entered the gild of St See also:Luke in 1625.
