Talk:Judith Leyster

The Happy Couple
Can anyone find a good source that this painting was definitively attributed to Leyster? I am familiar that this was suspected, but I understood it wasn't definitive. She isn't widely credited for it now, and perhaps because its considered a relatively insignificant work, it hasn't been easy for me to verify this.

guild member
This says: "By 1633, she was a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke, one of only two women (the other was a house painter) who gained entrance into the group. "

Franits, Wayne, Dutch Seventeenth-Century Genre Painting, Yale UP, 2004, ISBN 0300102372, says she was the first woman to join - not necessarily contradictory, but can anyone confirm the facts? Johnbod 12:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Though I understand that everyone wants to be able tosay that she was the first painter to have registered in the Haarlem painter's guild, that is just not true. The definitive source on the remnants of the Haarlem painter's guild archive is Miedema's 2-volume transcription of the remaining documents and it states quite clearly that Sarah Baalbergen was registered before her. Because there are very large gaps in the archives before 1630, it is highly likely that there were a few more women (like Catharina van Hemessen) who became members, especially because we know there were other non-member females working in Haarlem who did not register because they worked in family workshops. I removed the "first woman" a while ago, but I see it has crept back in. Jane (talk) 07:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Self-portrait ca. 1653 Suggestion
An editor might want to add info about the rediscovered "lost" self-portrait of ca. 1653. It's now in Commons.

"she was buried at a farm" - why?
I am intrigued to read in the Biography section that following her death Leyster "was buried at a barn outside of Haarlem." Why, in a religious society as predominantly Protestant Netherlands was at the time, was she not buried in consecrated ground such as a churchyard/cemetery or (as so many better off Dutch were) within a church? Was she not a believer? I note the article does not seem to indicate whether she was Protestant or Catholic.Cloptonson (talk) 07:03, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

What is her Dutch name?
“th” is not a sound that the Dutch use. They pronounce it a hard T and isn’t put in their names. “J”is pronounced like a “Y”. How is it even possible that she would have had the name Judith ,there must have been a Dutch version of the name. 2607:FEA8:75DC:9F00:A07E:E2B7:9633:E737 (talk) 14:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If you want to know this, look at the Dutch article, linked on the page. In fact it's the same. Johnbod (talk) 15:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
