Abraham Bloemaert was an influential Dutch painter from Dordrecht, who initially worked in the style of the "Haarlem Mannerists", but at the beginning of the 17th century adapted his style to the new emerging Baroque style. He painted mainly mythological and religious paintings, portraits and landscapes. He is best known for his art historical work The Great Theatre of Dutch Painters (1718-1721).
Frederik Bloemaert was a Dutch printmaker and draughtsman. Bloemaert was born and died in Utrecht. He was the youngest son of Abraham Bloemaert and distinguished himself as an engraver. He learned the trade from his father and was mainly occupied with engraving after his designs.
