Einen Druck von bestellen An Amsterdam East Indiaman, Abraham de Verwer (attributed to), c. 1625 - c. 1650

Beschreibung des Kunstwerks

The greater part of the picture surface is taken up by a three-master, known as an East Indiaman, seen directly from astern. The ship’s prominence suggests that this is a portrait, but the lack of any truly distinctive elements makes it hard to identify. Hanging at the top of the mainmast is a Dutch flag, and the transom is adorned with the arms of Amsterdam. The town on the left is unidentifiable. The roofs of the houses by the quayside sparkling in the sunlight are attractively suggested with a few loose brushstrokes. The scene is very comparable to 16th- and 17th-century prints of ship types. One of those in a suite by Frans Huys after Pieter Brueghel the Elder shows a ship from virtually the same angle as in this Rijksmuseum scene, and on the left there is also a town beside the water.2 Neither the attribution nor the date of this painting is certain. De Verwer’s surviving oeuvre is small, and contains no truly comparable works. It was attributed to him immediately after its arrival in the Rijksmuseum in 1885, probably on the grounds of a general affinity with The Battle of the Zuider Zee (SK-A-603), which is both signed and dated. The panoramic view in that work probably indicates that it was painted earlier than this one. Comparison, however, is complicated by the fact that that painting is so much larger. One point worth noting is that the waves are depicted rather schematically. The painter rendered the foam with small white curls. However, this is not a distinguishing feature, as Vroom, Anthonisz and other early marine painters treated waves in the same way. The painting has a provenance that probably goes back to the 17th century, when it was in Amsterdam’s Oudezijdshuiszittenhuis, the offices of the local Poor Relief Board.3 Everhard Korthals Altes, 2007 See Bibliography and Rijksmuseum painting catalogues See Key to abbreviations and Acknowledgements This entry was published in J.
