Description: | Hendrick Danckerts was among a number of Dutch artists who found success painting topographical works for the English nobility. Rather than a country estate, however, this view of Plymouth centres on the citadel built by Charles II in 1665 during the Anglo-Dutch war. At that time Danckerts was in the service of the British Royal Family and painted a number of their residences as well as British ports. This work is similar to a painting of the same view by another Dutch landscapist, Gerard van Edema, who worked in the area during the same period and for a similar market. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Plymouth) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Danckerts, Hendrick (Dutch painter and engraver, 1625-1680, active in England and Italy) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8501... | Go to resource |
