Description: | There were once several paintings by Willem van de Velde II at Mount Edgcumbe House. This is one of the three attributed works that remain. The subject is typical of the artist's marine paintings, featuring several boats and animated by numerous figures. Fishing vessels on calm seas were particularly common among his earlier works. Some areas appear to lack the subtlety of Van de Velde's brushwork, however, as well as his technical accuracy. It is possible that these inconsistencies are a result of conservation. Much of the collection was damaged when the house was bombed in World War II. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Velde, Willem van de, II (Dutch painter, 1633-1707) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8608... | Go to resource |
