Jan Jacobsz. van der Stoffe (1610 - 1682)

Jan Jacobsz. van der Stoffe

Jan Jacobsz. van der Stoffe was a Netherlandish painter of the Golden Age of Dutch painting.

In 1644, der Stoffe became a member of the St. Luke's Guild of Leiden and in 1699 became its dean.

The earliest painting by van der Stoffe dates from 1635. He specialized in hunting and battle scenes, relevant at the time. In style he is very close to the Haarlem painter Abraham van der Hoof (c. 1611-1666). Three cavalry paintings by van der Stoffe are still preserved in Leiden, in the De Lakenhal Museum.
