Andries Van Eertvelt (1590–1652), A Dutch Ship In Choppy Waters
Andries
van Eertvelt
Flemish painter
Antwerp 1590 – 1652 Antwerp
A Dutch ship in choppy waters
Oil on panel : 38,5 X 50,7 cm
Unsigned
Frame : 53,6 X 66,3 cm
Andries van Eertvelt was the very first Flemish specialist in marine paintings. He had a successful career and died a rich man.
This is probably an early work dating from before the end of the 1620s. It was painted in Antwerp, when van Eertvelt still worked in a late Mannerist style. The stormy weather conditions and the scary sea monster at the lower right are menacing the ship of life.
At right, in front of the ship one sees a faded under drawing of another ship, that van Eertvelt decide not to paint. As the paint layer has become thinner after 400 years its contours have appeared.
