Hendrick Sorgh
Hendrick Sorgh (baptized 6 November 1666 - buried 23 January 1720) was a broker and art collector in Amsterdam. Ancestry His father Marten Sorgh (ca 1641-1702) was registered as a silk trader when he became an Amsterdam citizen in 1665. Sorgh, who came from Rotterdam, probably was the son of the painter Hendrick Martensz Sorgh and Adriaantje Hollaer, but being from a Remonstrant family not always a birth certificate did survive. His mother Elisabeth Rombouts was the daughter of Jacob Romboutsz, an Amsterdam silk trader. In the summer of 1675, Vermeer borrowed 1,000 guilders in Amsterdam from Jacob Romboutsz, using Maria Thins, his mother-in-law's property as a surety. Her grandfather was Arminius, a Remonstrant theologian. His parents married in May 1665. Their first child Hendrick was baptized at home, like all of his brothers and sisters. Collection In 1693 Hendrick became a poorter of Amsterdam. He lived on Keizersgracht. Sorgh had an impressive art collection of 67 p ...

Huchtenburg
J(oh)an and Jacob van Huchtenburg (also known as ''Hughtenburg'' or ''Hugtenburg(h)'') were two Dutch Golden Age painters in the second half of the seventeenth century. Both brothers were natives of Haarlem, moved to Paris, but died in Amsterdam. The main source about their lives is from Arnold Houbraken. Some of the information from the 19th century is contradictive. Jacob van Huchtenburg (1644, Haarlem – bur. January 8, 1675, Amsterdam) studied under Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem. In 1662, he went to Italy and stayed in Rome until 1667. On his way back to Holland he stayed in Paris for more than a year, where he probably met up with his brother Jan. In 1669, he joined the Haarlem artists' guild. His pictures are probably confounded with those of his brother. He became well-to-do and lived on Prinsengracht. One is in the Brukenthal Museum, Sibiu. Jan van Huchtenburg (bapt. November 20, 1647, Haarlem – bur. July 2, 1733, Amsterdam), was a famous Dutch horse and battle pa ...

Jan Lievens
Jan Lievens (24 October 1607 – 4 June 1674) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who was associated with his close contemporary Rembrandt, a year older, in the early parts of their careers. They shared a birthplace in Leiden, training with Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam, where they shared a studio for about five years until 1631. Like Rembrandt he painted both portraits and history paintings, but unlike him Lievens' career took him away from Amsterdam to London, Antwerp, The Hague and Berlin. Biography According to Arnold Houbraken, Jan was the son of Lieven Hendriksze, an embroiderer (''borduurwerker''), and was trained by Joris Verschoten. He was sent to Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam at about the age of 10 for two full years. After that he began his career as an independent artist, at about the age of 12 in Leiden.

Jan Steen
Jan Havickszoon Steen ( – buried 3 February 1679) was a Dutch Golden Age painter, one of the leading genre painters of the 17th century. His works are known for their psychological insight, sense of humour and abundance of colour.

Nicolaas Verkolje
Nicolaas Verkolje or Vercolje (11 April 1673, Delft – 21 January 1746, Amsterdam), was a Dutch painter and mezzotinter. He specialized in history pieces and portraits in a classicistic style. Biography He was the son of Jan Verkolje and according to Arnold Houbraken the only one of five children to carry on his art (which was a mistake). Houbraken had intended to compose a biographical sketch of Nicolaas, yet he never reached that point, as he died before the publication of Volume III, which was written in order of birth year. According to the RKD both he and his brother Jan II became painters, having learned painting and engraving from their father. Nicolaes Verkolje was influenced by Antoine Coypel, Gérard de Lairesse, Godfried Schalcken, Gerard Dou, Adriaen van der Werff and Gabriel Metsu whose paintings he copied on commission. At the beginning of the 18th century, Verkolje merged these two developments by going back to biblical and mythological themes and dynam ...

Dido And Aeneas
''Dido and Aeneas'' (Z. 626) is an opera in a prologue and three acts, written by the English Baroque music, Baroque composer Henry Purcell with a libretto by Nahum Tate. The dates of the composition and first performance of the opera are uncertain. It was composed no later than July 1688, and had been performed at Josias Priest's girls' school in London by the end of 1689. Some scholars argue for a date of composition as early as 1683. The story is based on Book IV of Virgil's ''Aeneid''. It recounts the love of Dido, Queen of Carthage, for the Troy, Trojan hero Aeneas, and her despair when he abandons her. A monumental work in Baroque opera, ''Dido and Aeneas'' is remembered as one of Purcell's foremost theatrical works. It was also Purcell's only true opera, as well as his only all-sung dramatic work. One of the earliest known English operas, it owes much to John Blow's ''Venus and Adonis (opera), Venus and Adonis'', both in structure and in overall effect. The influence of F ...
