SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Ludolf Bakhuizen came from Emden and settled in Amsterdam around 1650, specialising in marine painting. Rough water, the movement of ships and changes in the sky occupy a central place in his pictures. He became one of the leading practitioners of the genre in the late seventeenth-century Netherlands.
In the London painting of an English vessel and a warship on a rough sea, taut sails and nearby cliffs make the dangers of navigation tangible. Other compositions describe varied maritime activities. Ships on Rough Seas, presented by the Maritime Museum Rotterdam, brings together merchant vessels, a warship and a fishing boat. Differences in the setting of the sails and in the ships’ manoeuvres give each vessel a distinct role within the space of the picture.
This profile brings together identity references for Ludolf Bakhuizen and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
