Gerhard Terburg

Gerhard Terburg (1608-1681), also Gerard ter Borch, was a noted Dutch painter, whose portraits and genre pictures are to be found in most of the great European galleries. He was born at Zwolle. After travelling in Germany, Italy, England, and Spain, he settled at Deventer, where he became burgomaster. His most famous pictures are a portrait of William of Orange, "Father's Advice," and his "Congress of Münster, 1648," which last was bought for £7280 and presented to the National Gallery, London.
