Description: | Signed: yes Description: This beach scene with animated groups of figures in the foreground is characteristic of the work of Adam Willaerts. A number of his paintings which represent the embarkation and disembarkation of travellers, like those depicted in the centre of this composition, have been related to the departure of the Elector Palatine and Princess Elizabeth from Margate and their arrival in Flushing. This historical event took place in 1613, but Willaerts returned to the subject at a later date, painting several versions in the 1620s. The rocky landscape on the left evidences the influence of Roelandt Savery, who settled in Utrecht in 1619 where Willaerts worked. | Subjects: | landscape; marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Willaerts, Adam (Dutch marine painter, 1577-1664) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8952... | Go to resource |
