Willem van de Velde, the younger is the eldest son of the Dutch painter of the same name Willem van de Velde (the elder). Like his father, he became a famous marine painter. His younger brother Adriaen, however, became a landscape and figure painter. Van de Velde first learned the basics of painting from his father. Later he trained for 2 years with Simon de Vlieger, a renowned marine painter of his time. Van de Velde's first marriage was divorced after only one year. He suspected his then wife of being unfaithful. His second marriage to Magdaleentje was happier and produced four children. The family settled in Amsterdam. Willem van der Velde the Elder also lived in Amsterdam and worked together with his two sons in a workshop.
In 1672 van de Velde, his family and his father were forced to leave the Netherlands and emigrate to England. France, England and several other states had declared war on the 7 states of the Netherlands. This resulted in an economic collapse and is still today called a catastrophic year by the Dutch. Once in England, father and son were employed at the British court a short time later. Charles II paid them each 100 pounds a year to record paintings and drawings of sea battles and other maritime themes. Van de Velde the Elder was responsible for the monochrome drawings. Van de Velde the Younger, on the other hand, had specialised in oil painting. He reproduced the works of his father in colour. Among the supporters of the father and son team were other nobles, such as the Duke of York. He paid them each another 50 pounds a year. They were even allowed to use rooms of the famous Queen's House in Greenwich for their work. Even after the death of their father, the agreement between Willem van de Velde and the court remained in place.
In many of his works Van de Velde depicted the Dutch coast and its shipping, such as in "The Battle of Texel" or "Entering a Dutch port". The pictures were very sensitive and at the same time with an almost photographic accuracy. His special talent was that he was able to depict the sea calm or stormy. In the end Willem van de Velde, the younger one, became even more famous than his father. He became the leading Dutch marine painter of the 17th century and also shaped the development of British seascape painting to a great extent.
