Description: | Signed: yes Description: This port, with its fanciful Roman architecture and a much reduced version of Trajan's column at left, is an imaginary scene probably based on engravings and other paintings. The artist, Abraham Storck, was born and lived in Amsterdam and is not known to have travelled in Italy, so thus would not have had first-hand knowledge of the Italian ports which occupied so much of his career. Another artist may have executed the figures in the foreground at a later date. | Subjects: | landscape; marine; townscape; buildings and gardens; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Storck, Abraham (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1644-1708) and studio Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8620... | Go to resource |
