About Jacob Adriaensz Bellevois

  • Biography

    Jacob Adriaensz lived from 1621 to 1675. Bellevois was a Dutch marine painter whose works are stylistically similar to those by the artists Jan Porcellis and Simon de Vlieger. Warships and rowing boats caught in rough seas appear throughout his oeuvre. More rarely however, like de Vlieger, are his depictions of stormy seas featuring imaginary rocky outcrops and shipwrecks. Details of the ships’ features, such as the sails and tillers, as well as the undulation of the waves, are summarily treated while the atmosphere is rendered in ochre and grey tones.
