Description: | This painting represents an imaginary harbour populated by small figures dressed in medieval and vaguely oriental costumes. The palette of brown and grey, the shape of the clouds and the depiction of the sun-rays are characteristic of Peter van den Velde. Van den Velde, who became master of the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp in 1654, specialised in views of ports with fantastical architecture influenced by the work of Jacob Balthasar Peeters. The figures in his paintings were often painted by David Teniers III and Erasmus Quellinus. | Subjects: | marine; townscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Velde, Peter van den (Flemish painter, 1634-after 1687) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Storck, Abraham (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1644-1708) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9044... | Go to resource |
