Description: | Born in Amsterdam with the surname Nooms, the artist generally signed as 'Zeeman' (seaman). Having spent his early career as a sailor, Zeeman went on to become an accomplished etcher and painter of seascapes. The present composition is typical of Zeeman, with figures standing on a shore and seven French sailing ships on the sea. The market for seascapes reflected the general developments in the art market in Holland and the Southern Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Artists no longer worked only to commission, but began to paint subjects of their own choice which were sold on the open market. | Subjects: | marine; military and war; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zeeman, Reinier (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca.1623-ca.1668) Æ Studio of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8850... | Go to resource |
