Career
Beeldemaker (1618, Rotterdam – 1709, The Hague), was a Dutch Golden Age painter. According to January van Gool he specialized in painting scenes of deer and boar hunts. His paintings were popular, probably because he asked modest prices for them.
According to The Netherlands Institute for Art History (Dutch: Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie or RKD), he was also known as Johannes, and became the father of the painters Cornelis and Frans Beeldemaker.
He worked in Leiden and Dordrecht. Examples of his work are represented at Kadriorg Palace, (part of the Art Museum of Estonia) in Tallinn, Estonia.
