Hendrik Carré
Dutch, 1696–1775
Hendrik Carré was a Dutch Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum. Hendrik Carré was born in The Hague.
Hendrik Carré painted playful scenes from daily life in the 1700s, working in a Dutch tradition that favored lighthearted narratives. One of his works here is *The Catch* (1734), a small canvas showing a group of boys fishing by a canal, their hats and coats catching the afternoon light. Tap *The Catch* to step closer and see how he used tiny brushstrokes to suggest shimmering water and fluttering cloth.
