Ferdinand Bol (1616 - 1680) was a Dutch (United Provinces) painter, engraver and draftsman of the Golden Age, 17th century, author of portraits and paintings on biblical subjects. He was one of Rembrandt's best students. The works of Ferdinand Bol belong to the baroque style. He is part of what we call the “old Dutch masters”.
