Article · Português
Gérard de Lairesse (* Liège, 11 de Setembro de 1640 - Haia, 28 de Julho de 1711), foi pintor e teórico de arte holandês, de estilo clássico, o último mestre relevante da Era do Ouro na Holanda. Especializou-se na criação de temas mitológicos e históricos da Antiguidade, dentro do melhor gosto acadêmico, decorativo e de beleza idealizada, com influências francesas e latinas. É um personagem mais conhecido atualmente pelo seu retrato, feito por Rembrandt, do que por suas próprias criações, ainda que tenha sido um dos mais célebres artistas holandeses da segunda metade do Século XVII. Lairesse teve uma vida com tintas novelescas: sofria de sífilis congênita que ainda lhe permitiu viver 70 anos. Muito jovem, teve de fugir de sua cidade em razão de suas aventuras amorosas. Foi um artista plurifacetário e de ampla cultura; seus escritos chegaram a se refletir no Século XVIII, tendo também se interessado pela música e pelo teatro.
