Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting is typical of the output of Abraham Storck, a popular seventeenth-century Dutch marine artist. He has depicted an example of shipping found in the formidable Dutch Navy, as well as more humble craft. The large man-of-war on the left is complemented by these smaller, domestic fishing smacks. Storck was a popular artist, and works exported to England during the 1600s would have continued to be appreciated by art connoisseurs into the next century. Considering the stature of the artist and the general appeal of his pleasant Dutch riverscape, it is very possible that this painting was exported to Britain long before its acquisition by the collector Noel Terry in the early twentieth century. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Storck, Abraham (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1644-1708) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8722... | Go to resource |
