NEER, AART VAN DER, born at Amsterdam
in 1603, died there, Nov. 9, 1677.
Dutch school; landscape painter; was a
friend of Cuyp, who occasionally supplied
the figures in his landscapes, and an admirable
painter of moonlight and twilight
scenes. He represented for the most part
canals with towns on their banks lighted
by the moon, and no other painter has depicted
the lights and shadows incident to
such scenes with so much truthfulness and
clearness. He painted conflagrations also
with equal truth. Works: Evening Landscape,
