Description: | The Battle of Lepanto was fought between Christian forces and the Turks, the former commanded by Don John of Austria, on 7 October 1571. The Christians won. Andies van Eertvelt was born in Antwerp and it is likely that he was the pupil of H. C. Vroom. His early work is colourful and has a bright clarity. After staying in Italy, his work became looser, his canvases larger, and his palette more subdued. One of his particular techniques was to paint the rigging of ships bright against a dark background, a device which was later imitated. | Subjects: | marine; history (Battle of Lepanto) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Eertvelt, Andries van (Flemish painter, 1590-1652) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9173... | Go to resource |
