Dutch painter Gerrit van Duffelen was a well-known Dutch painter and artist who also taught anatomy at the Rijksmuseum. He lived and worked in Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Bloemendaal, but also made numerous trips to the French Riviera. His oil paintings, watercolors, and etchings remain mostly in private collections. Van Duffelen studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam and painted mostly in a traditional impressionistic style figures, portraits, city and harbor views, ships, and still lifes. In Amsterdam and Rotterdam he was a member of the most important art associations. Some sources incorrectly state that he won a medal with his painting Jongen met slee.
