Jan van de Cappelle

1626-1676 Holland/Baroque-Marine Art

 

Brief Biography-Jan van de Cappelle was a Dutch Golden Age painter of marine art from Amsterdam. He was wealthy through the family business of dying and self-taught as a painter. Because of his limited time as an industrialist, his works are somewhat fewer in number compared to other artists. However, the standard of his work was second to none, and he was one of the best marine artists of the time. He also influenced the output of Willem van de Velde the Younger and other marine artists.
He was an avid art collector and held works by most leading artists, from Rembrandt to Frans Hals. Both painted portraits of Cappelle.
