Background
Lambert was trained as a furniture maker like his father, but seemed to enjoy drawing more than woodworking and he became an artist. lieutenant is not known who trained him, but since his father supplied frames for Rembrandt, he probably had access to a teacher within his father"s network.
Career
Lambert Doomer painted copies of both of these paintings in 1644. To finish his education, Lambert traveled to France with Willem Schellinks who was three years younger than he was, in 1646. They both made extensive drawings of this trip and Schellinks drawings are kept in the Fondation Custodia in Paris, the foundation started by Frits Lugt.
Their destination was Nantes, where two of Doomer"s brothers lived, but they argued and split up.
They then embarked on a trip to England, and though both were on the same ship, they are not mentioned in each other"s journals. Doomer seems to have done well as a painter.
He was able to buy at auction a large amount of Rembrandt drawings and sketchbooks after that artist"s bankruptcy in 1657. lieutenant is from his meticulous copies of these drawings that others concluded that he was a Rembrandt pupil, but that is not certain.
At the end of his life he moved to Amsterdam in 1694, where he later died.
