HOOGSTRATEN, SAMUEL DIRKSZ VAN (1627 1678), Dutch painter, was born at Dordrecht on Aug. 2, 1627, and died there on Oct. 19, 1678. He studied first with his father, and then, from about 1642 onwards, in the school of Rembrandt. He then travelled as a master and a portrait painter, visiting, among other cities, Vienna (1 651) and Rome. He was in London in 1662. He married (1656) at Dordrecht, where he became (16 7 1) provost of the mint. Hoogstraten's works are scarce ; but a sufficient number of them has been preserved to show that he strove to imitate different styles at different times. In a portrait dated 1645 in the Lichtenstein collection at Vienna he imitates Rembrandt; and he continues in this vein as late as 1653, when he produced that wonderful figure of a Jew looking out of a casement (Vienna Museum).
