Nicolaes Piemont (1644–1709) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter who travelled to Rome in the 1670s.
Biography
editNicolaas Piemont was born in Amsterdam. According to Houbraken, Piemont was a member of the Bentvueghels with the nickname "Opgang" who signed Abraham Genoels's bentbrief in Rome in 1674.[1]
According to the RKD he was nicknamed "Opgang" and was known for Italianate landscapes.[2] This painter made some paintings in the dollhouse of Petronella Oortman (in the collection of the Rijksmuseum today), together with the painters Willem Frederiksz van Royen and Johannes Voorhout.[2] Piemont's contributions were Italianate landscapes on the walls of the parlour in the dollhouse, one side of which was interrupted by a miniature hearth, of which the intricate decorative mantelpiece was painted on in a different (unspecified) hand.[3] Piemont died in Vollenhove.
