Biography:
After studying under Rembrandt in Amsterdam, Carel Fabritius settled in Delft in 1650. His work contains obvious influence from his mentor, especially in use of lighting, brushwork, and careful composition. Fabritius was also known for his accurate depictions of landscapes and interiors. Tragically, he was killed at the age of thirty-two in an explosion that destroyed most of Delft.
