There he was a member of the «Bentvueghels», receiving the nick-name «Tempeest». Then he moved to Genoa, where he stayed from 1670 to 1684, when he left for Parma. He was a Dutch Golden Age painter, who is mainly known for Italianate landscapes. He took on the pupil, Carlo Antonio Tavella. Pieter Mulier II, died in Milan in 1701. | |
