Carel Fabritius, born in the ten-year old Beemster polder, as the son of schoolteacher, had initially worked as a carpenter (Latin fabritius).
He had studied in the early 1640s, along with his brother Barent Fabritius, at Rembrandt's studio in Amsterdam.
He moves in the early 1650s to Delft and joins the Delft painters' guild in 1652.
Fabritius is interested in complex spatial effects, as can be seen in the exaggerated perspective of A View in Delft, with a Musical Instrument Seller's Stall (1652).
