Description: | Little is known of Cornelis de Mooy, and we are even ignorant of his master. The only known attributed works are all grisailles (monochromatic paintings), and it is very possible that he learnt the technique from Willem van de Velde the Elder (1611-1693), who achieved fame for his grisaille work around 1650, about the time Mooy would have been embarking on his career. As well as painting scenes of contemporary Dutch shipping, he is also known for his imaginative paintings, and was perhaps also influenced by the earlier marine painter, Jan Porcellis. | Subjects: | marine; figure; animal (porpoise) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mooy, Cornelis Pietersz. de (Dutch painter, died 1693) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8413... | Go to resource |
