From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caesar van Everdingen (1616/17, Alkmaar - buried Oct 13, 1678, Alkmaar), older brother of Allart van Everdingen, was a Dutchman mainly known as a portrait painter. Like Caesar, his brother Allart was also a painter.

Educated in Utrecht, Caesar became a member of the St. Lucas gild in Alkmaar in 1632. His first know painting dates from 1636. In 1648 he moved to Haarlem, but in 1658 he moved back to Alkmaar where he died in 1678.

Many of his pictures are to be seen in the museums and private houses of the Netherlands.
