Carel Fabritius was a Dutch painter whose adopted name is latin for carpenter, or, craftsman. (-1654) Baroque painter of portraits, genre, and narrative subjects whose concern with light and space influenced stylistic development in the 17th century. Fabritius was one of Rembrandt van Rijn's most gifted students in Amsterdam during the period 1641-1643.
Fabritius was an influential Dutch painter despite that his life was tragically cut short in 1654 when a store of Armory gunpowder exploded, devastating a large part of the town. Much of Fabritius' work is presumed to have been lost in the explosion. Approximately a dozen of his paintings are known to remain.

Barent Fabritius, real name Barent Pieterz (1624-1673).
Dutch painter of portraits and of biblical, mythological and historical scenes. His earliest 1650's works are based heavily upon Rembrandt's 1640's works. It is unknown if he was a pupil of Rembrandt. He was also influenced by his famed older brother, Carol Fabritius who was a leading artist of the Delft school.
He was born the son of a schoolmaster and in the beginning took interest in carpentry (hence his Latin name, Fabritius for "maker"). During his career he worked in Amsterdam, Leiden and London. Among his notable works are "Peter in the House of Cornelius," (1653, Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, Braunschweig [Brunswick], Ger.), an allegorical portrait of the Fabritius family. And "A Self-Portrait as a Shepherd" (Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna).
