(Abraham), a celebrated painter, born at Gorcum in Holland in 1567. We are not informed what particular means of improvement he had; but it is certain he designed in a more elegant taste than any of his countrymen. His figures are often graceful; excepting only that he gives them sometimes an affected twist, which is still more conspicuous in the fingers. The resurrection of Lazarus is one of Bloemart's master-pieces; in which are many faults, and many beauties; both very characteristic. There have been a great number of prints engraved after his works. He died in 1647; and left three sons: two of them, Henry and Adrian, were painters; and the youngest, Cornelius, was an excellent engraver.
