Dirk van der Aa

(Dutch, 1731–1809)

Dirk van der Aa was a Dutch Rococo painter best known for his subtle tonal paintings of allegorical and mythological themes. Van der Aa’s works where often commissioned for specific rooms, the insides of carriages, or wall panels, and were considered an integral part of the larger Rococo decorative aesthetics. Born on March 1, 1731 in Den Haag, the Netherlands, he went on to study art in Paris and later under Swiss painter Johann Heinrich Keller in The Hague. Today, Van der Aa’s works can be found in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Resnick Collection in Los Angeles, among others. He died on February 23, 1809 in Den Haag, Netherlands.
