Description: | In terms of composition, content and colouring, this work is close to that of Abraham Storck. The two three masted ships dominating the foreground, attended by smaller vessels, is a variant of a device commonly seen in paintings by Storck. His early work recalls that of Willem van de Velde II, Backhuysen and Beerstraten. During the 1670s and 1680s he moved towards painting imaginary views based on Amsterdam and Mediterranean ports. The windmills seen in the background here strongly suggest a Dutch setting. | Subjects: | marine; figure; townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Velde, Willem van de, II (Dutch painter, 1633-1707) Æ Attributed to manner of Attributed to Storck, Abraham (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1644-1708) Previously attributed to Backhuysen, Ludolf, I (Dutch painter, calligrapher, and printmaker, 1630-1708) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8416... | Go to resource |
