Description: | An episode from the New Testament (Luke 5. 1-10) provided a suitable subject for Adam Willaerts's characteristic beach scene with crowds of people in the foreground. Soldiers, mothers with children, priests and beggars gather to listen to Christ preaching from a boat, surrounded by his apostles. The mountainous landscape on the right recalls the Flemish tradition, within which Antwerp-born Willaerts remained, notwithstanding his emigration to Utrecht in 1611. The ship in the background bears Flemish ensigns: the double-headed black eagle on a gold ground and the combination of red and gold stripes are associated with Antwerp and Mechelen. | Subjects: | apostles); landscape; marine; figure religion (Christ | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Willaerts, Adam (Dutch marine painter, 1577-1664) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Teniers, David, I (Flemish painter, 1582-1649) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9045... | Go to resource |
