Something wrong?A Dutch Golden Age painter who made light falling through doorways look like the whole point of a room - his domestic interiors turned the ordinary geometry of courtyards and thresholds into something quieter than drama, sharper than decoration.

He worked in the Delft Guild of St. Luke at the same time as Jan Vermeer, and their work overlapped in theme and style - both drawn to the contained world of Dutch interiors. De Hooch built his reputation on genre scenes: domestic moments framed by open doorways, light spilling across tile and brick. He was last documented in 1679. His death date remains unknown, though it came after 1683; his son Pieter died in 1684, a date sometimes mistaken for the father's.
