Description: | The monochrome palette and the dramatic rendering of the waves in this marine painting follow the model which was popularised by Jan Porcellis in the first half of the seventeenth century. In the middle distance, the unknown painter represented four vessels sailing under Dutch ensigns in a rough sea. The clouds moving over a very low horizon are also characteristic of Porcellis's works, many of which were reproduced in prints. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Porcellis, Jan (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca. 1584-1632) Æ Attributed to school of Attributed to manner of Porcellis, Jan (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca. 1584-1632) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9043... | Go to resource |
