Witte, Emanuel de

Witte, Emanuel de (āmä'nOOel du vit'u) [key], 1617–92, Dutch painter. Witte's paintings of architecture, genre scenes, seascapes, and portraits were influenced by the work of Elsheimer. Witte excelled at moody, majestic paintings of church interiors (e.g., Interior of a Gothic Church; Rijks Mus.). He possessed a melancholy nature that ultimately drove him to suicide.
