He was born in Leiden in 1629 and was the son of Jaques Metsu, who was also a painter and carpet designer. Probably the young Gabriel was taught painting by the painters Nicolaus Knüpfer and Jan Weenix. Already at the age of 19 he became a member of the painters' guild of the city of Leiden. At the age of 25, the artist moved to Amsterdam. He lived in the middle of the city in Prinsengracht opposite a market. The surroundings inspired him to paint numerous genre paintings such as "The Cook," "The Baker Blows His Horn," "The Poultry Seller," and "The Old Drunkard." In 1658 the painter got married. His wife Isabella de Wolff was the daughter of Maria de Grebber, a well-known painter of the so-called Golden Age.
More and more the artist, also under the influence of the painter Gerrit Dou, turned to the so-called "Leiden Fijnschilders". These were painters who predominantly painted small-format pictures, as realistic and detailed as possible, with smooth surfaces and without conspicuous brushstrokes, which clearly distinguished them from other Dutch painters such as Rembrandt and Frans Hals. Rather, they had something in common with the old Dutch masters like Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden.Gabriel Metsu himself also had many imitators and some students who later became very famous themselves. Two of them are Michiel van Musscher and Joost van Geel.
Gabriel Metsu was one of the very great painters of the Golden Age. He was very fond of painting old people, single (often young women, either holding a pet on their lap, playing musical instruments, reading letters, shopping at the market or selling goods. Perhaps his two best-known paintings, however, are large-scale family portraits. They are called "Visit to the Kindergarten" and "Hinlopen Family" Both paintings depict scenes from the interior of the Hinlopen family home, down to every detail, finely executed and in the most magnificent colors. Jan Hinlopen was a very powerful and influential cloth merchant from Amsterdam and an important patron of Gabriel Metsu, to whom he provided many commissions.
The painter lived to be only 38 years old. What he died of has not been handed down. His widow went back to her family. She outlived the husband by more than 50 years.
