Nor are his subjects as immediately evocative as the moody rooms, soft fabrics and enigmatic domestic dramas favored by Vermeer. Born in Delft in 1627, van Aelst is hardly the household name of his near contemporary, Vermeer, also from Delft. Van Aelst is the subject of a 28-painting exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, most of it neatly contained in the low-ceilinged, intimate spaces of the West Building’s Dutch cabinet galleries. He favored mice, from time to time, and insects, and sumptuous pocket watches often make an appearance, invoking ideas of time, timelessness and things that are time-intensive, such as painting still life. He focused on still life, meticulous pictures of flowers, fish, armor and dead game, often arrayed on a table or marble slab, with drapery or cloth slightly pulled or rumpled in such a way as to add a studied theatricality to the image. In 1985 she got convicted to a life sentence.As far as we know, Willem van Aelst never painted a landscape, portrait or history scene. Her case is still one of the most sensational cases in Dutch history. She would poison her victims and then get the insurance money. Swanenburg’s motive for murder was money. After this, she got six more children, four of them died at a young age. When she was 24-years-old she had her first baby. She had twelve brothers and sisters, six of them died at a very young age. Swanenburg dealt with a lot of death in her younger years. He was released in 1987 and died in 2006. In 1976 he got an eighteen year sentence and he was not allowed to be a nurse for 23 years. Hooijmaijers had a very strange motive: he didn’t want people to suffer, so he killed them by an overdoses of medicine. Spruit committed suicide by an overdoses of sleeping pills, just one month before his 86 birthday. After he did confess, he got convicted to life imprisonment. He got arrested in 1974 and it took the police a few days to get him to confess the murders. He would lure little kids with him and trade magazines for sex. Spruit was the oldest child so he would get blamed for everything. His father was abusive and his mother didn’t care about anyone but herself. In 1997 Hertogs confessed the three murders and he got convicted to life imprisonment. Hertogs killed three young girls, aged eleven, twelve and eighteen. He got arrested and convicted to life imprisonment.ĭuring his childhood, Hertogs already had lots of encounters with the police. That’s where he murdered three to six other woman.

However, that’s where everything went wrong again.Īfter Willem got out he and his wife moved to Groningen (north of The Netherlands). His new wife was supposed to keep him on the right path, so he got out of prison. Willem got eighteen years imprisonment for two murders. Despite his intelligence, he did not perform very well at school. He got the nickname ‘Gekke (crazy) Willempie’ because he was known for being cruel to animals.
