Description: | Reinier Nooms, a sailor, spent much of his time painting and adopted the surname 'Zeeman' (Seaman) in reference to his career. Most of his work depicts the main trade routes on which he worked in northern Europe and the Mediterranean. The boat in the foreground in this painting is a 'kaag', a cargo vessel whose narrow shape made it suitable for negotiating inland waterways. | Subjects: | marine; townscape; place (Scheveningen); figure; trade and industry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zeeman, Reinier (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca.1623-ca.1668) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Ruisdael, Jacob van (Dutch painter and draftsman, born 1628 or 1629, died 1682) Previously attributed to Rombouts, Salomon (Dutch painter, ca.1652-ca.1702) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9182... | Go to resource |
