Biography

Born on 11 January 1650, Diana Glauber was a Dutch painter.[1] According to Houbraken she was the daughter of the Amsterdam chemist Johann Rudolph Glauber, and the sister of the painters Jan Gotlief and Johannes Glauber.[2] She was good with portraits and historical allegories, but lost her sight and stopped painting.[2] She was still living in Hamburg while Houbraken was writing.[2]

According to the RKD no works are known,[3] but 6 works are described in a period inventory of the Schloss Salzdahlum, of which five form a series of the five senses. [note 1]
