Celebrates the riches of the NMM's 17th century Netherlandish collection
Essays by experts from the Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum, the Rijksmuseum, and the University of Virginia
Publishing alongside the opening of the Turmoil and Tranquility exhibition at the NMM with national and regional advertising campaigns
The National Maritime Museum is home to some of the finest seventeenth-century Flemish and Dutch maritime paintings in the world. Turmoil and Tranquility shows the breadth of the collection, beginning with the Flemish tradition, the development of distinctly Dutch seascapes, and the foundation of a Netherlandish school of maritime painting in Britain.
The setting of the accompanying exhibition in Inigo Jones'Queen's House is appropriate, not only because it is a unique Stuart royal villa of the period, but also since two famous Dutch marine painters, the Willem van de Veldes (father and son) had their studio there from 1673; both artists are featured in the exhibition.
In this beautiful book, published to accompany this long-awaited exhibition, well-known art historians introduce the themes of the collection in a series of essays. The catalogue section comprises a short biography of each artist, followed by a full discussion of each of their pictures, its provenance and related scholarly literature.
