Pieter Lastman (1583 - 1633) was a painter from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.[1]

Between approximately 1604 and 1607 Lastman was in Italy, where he was influenced by Caravaggio (as were the painters of the Utrecht School a few years later) and by Adam Elsheimer.

Lastman is also important because his pupils included Rembrandt and Jan Lievens. Especially because, as far as is known, Rembrandt himself never visited Italy, it is likely that he was influenced by Caravaggio (see e.g. chiaroscuro) mainly or significantly via Lastman.
