Of Dirck Barendsz, whose ties with Venice have long been known, information may be obtained from his authentic paintings and drawings, from prints after lost designs, and from the text of Carel van Mander who in his Schilder-Boeck calls Barendsz. an 'excellent painter from Amsterdam'. The author of this study evaluates the artist's development and judges his influence on his contemporaries.
