1622 -1654 · Dutch Golden Age
Clear light, experimental perspectives and silent trompe l'oeil distinguish Rembrandt's student who opened a new path for Delft.
Born in the Beemster, Carel Fabritius joined Rembrandt's studio in Amsterdam before settling in Delft around 1650. He quickly moved away from his master's warm shadows to develop a clear palette, bold perspective spaces and illusions of 'great simplicity. His death at thirty-two in the explosion of the Delft powder magazine probably destroyed a large part of an already rare work. His death at the age of thirty-two in the explosion of the Delft powder magazine probably destroyed a large part of an already rare work. The "Carel Fabritius" selection notably compares The Goldfinch and View of Delft. His reading favors the material.
Fabritius achieves illusion not through the accumulation of detail, but through the accuracy of light, space and silence.

Born in the Beemster, Carel Fabritius joined Rembrandt's studio in Amsterdam before settling in Delft around 1650. He quickly moved away from his master's warm shadows to develop a clear palette, bold perspective spaces and illusions of 'great simplicity.
