The artist's name van de Velde stands for a family dedicated to the depiction of maritime motifs. The early 17th century was marked by times of war for the Dutch population. The disputes over power and colonies developed into a dispute that spread to all of Europe. Particularly intense were the naval battles fought between the Dutch and the English. On board the ships was not infrequently a ship's draftsman. An artist who took over the documentation of the events and skillfully put them on paper. The story of the van de Velde family of artists began in the turmoil of battle at sea between the British Isles and the European mainland. It evolved into a collaborative artist's work that is unique in the genre of marine painting.
The head of the family, Willem van de Velde, was a marine painter. His works are consistently sophisticated graphic depictions of marine subjects. The biography is as sketchy as can be predicted for the time. Only a few documents have been preserved and passed down. Willem van de Velde, who later called himself simply the Elder, married and later moved his center of life to Amsterdam. The van de Velde family had two sons, who were christened Willem and Adriaen. The sons followed their father's profession. Both, in contrast to him, oriented themselves into a painterly form of representation. In particular, Willem, the eldest son showed great talent and after his education also became a marine painter. He later went down in art history as Willem van de Velde, the younger, as one of the most famous painters of maritime scenes. Father and son worked together at times and, in addition to art, an economically flourishing art business developed. Generous clients and patrons of the arts ensured the artists a comfortable income.
With the so-called catastrophe year, the political situation in the Netherlands intensified. This also affected the van de Velde family, who emigrated to England in the course of that year at the invitation of the king. In their luggage, father and son had the talent to create atmospheric and impressive seascapes. This and the preference of the English king of the time for Dutch art helped the artists to gain a foothold. Willem, the older, remained true to his monochromatic painting. Willem, the younger, began to color his father's works. With this collaboration, they obtained employment at court. It was during this period that father and son began to add their personal signatures to the works of the generation. The works created before this time demand a knowing look from the viewers. Living in England provides an intense connection between father and son. Although both are independently successful artists with great influence on the following generations of marine painters, they work side by side. The artist family's body of work includes oil paintings and pen and ink drawings, as well as tapestries, demonstrating the artists' versatility.
