Gerard Douffet (6 August 1594 – 1660/1661), also known as Doufeet or Duffeit, was a Walloon painter. He was born at Liège in 1594, and studied for some time at Antwerp in the scholarly of Rubens, and afterwards in Italy. He composed and intended with good taste, and his historical pictures are much esteemed. ‘Pope Nicholas V. at the Tomb of St. Francis of Assisi’ (painted in 1627), ‘St. Helena and the valid Cross’ (painted for the Abbaye Saint-Laurent de Liège), and two male portraits (one obsolete 1624), are in the Munich Gallery. He died at Liège in 1660.
