Judith Leyster Gets Mainstream Recognition in the Form of a Google Doodle-Latest 2022
Introduction
Judith Leyster is a famous Dutch artist who lived from 1598 to 1662. She was one of the first women in Dutch history to make a living from painting, and her style can sometimes be identified by a yellow dagger she would paint into her pieces (something that also marked her signature on the works she painted). In 1636, when Leyster was 26 years old, she married Jan Miense Molenaer, a well-regarded painter who lived in Haarlem. The couple had five children and collaborated on many paintings together. For example "The Proposition" (1631) features five children playing with musical instruments including two boys headbanging while one of them plays a drum set added by an art restorer in the 18th century which could never have existed at the time it was made. It would have had no meaning because it didn't exist yet!

Judith Leyster is credited with being the first woman in Dutch history to make a living from painting. She was born in 1609 and died in 1660. She gained admission to the Guild of Saint Luke in Amsterdam, which allowed her to sell her work on commission.
In addition to being an accomplished painter and printmaker, she also wrote poetry and songs; some of these were published after her death under the name “Jane van der Gheyn” (ending with an n).
Leyster's style can sometimes be identified by a yellow dagger she would paint into her pieces, which would also be her signature on the works she painted. The yellow dagger was a symbol of her hometown and it also represented the family name of Leyster’s husband, who was from Zwolle (a city in the Netherlands). The dagger is also seen as a symbol of her own family name because she was born with it.
In addition to these meanings, there is another reason why Judith Leyster chose this particular design: It has been used by many different cultures throughout history—including Native Americans and Vikings—and therefore holds meaning beyond just being decorative art or an interesting way to decorate furniture or clothing items made out of fabric.

In 1636, when Leyster was 26 years old, she married Jan Miense Molenaer. The marriage lasted for about ten years until he died in 1645. He was a well-regarded painter who lived in Haarlem and whose work is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
He painted portraits of wealthy citizens of Haarlem as well as religious figures such as Jan van der Weyden (1400s), Gerard de Jode (1520s), and Lucas van Leyden (1500s). He also painted altarpieces for churches including St.-Oedenrode Abbey Church where his wife was buried after her death from tuberculosis at age 30 on May 27th, 1642.
The couple had five children and collaborated on many paintings together.
You may have heard of Judith Leyster and her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer. They were a famous couple who had five children together and collaborated on many paintings together. The couple also influenced modern art movements such as Impressionism and Expressionism, which is why their work has been featured in museums around the world.
It's possible that this is not the first time that Google has honored the couple with a Doodle today—but it's definitely one worth celebrating!
Leyster was admitted to the Guild of Saint Luke in Haarlem for a small membership fee in 1633, but it took her several years before she was able to make a decent living from painting.
Leyster was born in Haarlem, Netherlands, on November 24, 1609. She was the first woman to make a living from painting in Dutch history and her work has been featured on postcards, stamps, and even Google's homepage!
Leyster married Jan Miense Molenaer in 1634. They had three children together but unfortunately, they were not blessed with any daughters or sons; only daughters. Her husband died when Judith was 44 years old so she went back to painting again after 19 years without him around (the average lifespan for someone who hasn't worked as an artist is 22).
One of Leyster's paintings that may have caused some confusion over the centuries is titled "The Proposition" (1631) and features five children playing with musical instruments, including two boys headbanging while one of them plays a drum set.

The painting was not a portrait of the artist's family; it was created in 1631 and titled "The Proposition."
That drum set was added by an art restorer in the 18th century and it's something that could never have existed at the time the painting was made. It would have had no meaning because it didn't exist yet.

The drum set was not used in 17th-century Holland but in contemporary jazz bands.
It wasn't until much later that drums were used to create beats as we know them today (what we call "grooving").

Drummers didn't just play music for fun—they also communicated with other villages by drumming out messages from afar. They would send signals about what was going on in their communities so that everyone could stay safe and prepare themselves for an attack or other threat.
Drums have also been used as musical instruments since ancient times; they're even found in classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin! Of course, not every country uses a drum set; some rely on xylophones instead.
Conclusion
It is interesting to see how her work has come to be accepted in the 21st century. It's also worth noting that she was one of the first female artists who made a living painting, which was considered a male occupation at the time. If you're interested in seeing some more of Leyster's paintings.
