BACKHUYSEN, or BAKHUISEN, LUDOLF (1631-1708)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 135 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
BACKHUYSEN, or BAKHUISEN, LUDOLF (1631-1708) , Dutch painter, was
born
  at Emden, in Hanover. He was brought up as a
merchant
  at
Amsterdam
 , but early discovered so strong a genius for
painting
  that he relinquished business and devoted himself to art. He studied first under Allart van
Everdingen
  and then under Hendrik Dubbels, two eminent masters of the time, and soon became celebrated for his sea-pieces. He was an ardent student of nature, and frequently exposed himself on the sea in an open boat in order to study the effects of tempests. His compositions, which are very numerous, are nearly all variations of one subject, and in a
style
  peculiarly his own, marked by intense
realism
  or faithful imitation of nature. In his later years
Backhuysen
  employed his time in
etching
  and calligraphy. He died in
Amsterdam
  on the 17th of November 1708.
