Balthazar Gerbier

Balthazar Gerbier

Sir Balthazar Gerbier, né à Middelburg, en Zélande, le 23 février 1592, mort à Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, en 1663[1], est un homme de cour anglo-néerlandais, diplomate, conseiller artistique, miniaturiste et architecte.

Vie et œuvre

Gerbier eut pour patron George Villiers, premier duc de Buckingham, qui le chargea de lui trouver des peintures pour sa collection et d'en négocier l'achat. Il servit de curateur aux collections du duc et exécuta plusieurs miniatures pour lui. À la mort de Buckingham, il entra au service du roi Charles Ier d'Angleterre. Le musée Victoria et Albert, de Londres, possède un dessin préliminaire pour un portrait miniature de Charles, alors Prince de Galles (1619).

Notes

  1. La date de 1667 inscrite sur son monument funéraire semble arronée puisque ses filles sollicitèrent une pension après sa mort en 1663. (Colvin)
