VANDEVELDE, ADRIAN (1639-1672)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 887 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VANDEVELDE, ADRIAN (1639-1672) , Dutch animal and landscape painter, a brother of William Vandevelde (q.v.), the marine painter, was born at
Amsterdam
  in 1639. He was trained in the studio of Jan Wynants, the landscape painter, where he made the acquaintance of Philip Wouwerman, who is believed to have aided him in his studies of animals, and to have exercised a powerful and beneficial
influence
  upon his art. Having made exceptionally rapid progress, he was soon employed by his master to introduce figures into his landscape compositions, and he rendered a similar service to Hobbema,
Ruysdael
 , Verboom and other contemporary artists. His favourite subjects are scenes of open pasture
land
 , with sheep, cattle and goats, which he executed with admirable dexterity, with much precision of
touch
  and truth of draughtsmanship, and with clear silvery colouring. He painted a few small but excellent winter scenes with skaters, and several religious subjects, such as the " Descent from the
Cross
 ," for the Roman Catholic
church
  in
Amsterdam
 . In addition to his paintings, of which nearly two hundred have been catalogued, he executed about twenty etchings, several of which appear from their
dates
  to have been done in his fourteenth year. They are simple but pleasing in tonality, and are distinguished by
great
  directness of method and by delicacy and certainty of
touch
 . Adrian Vandevelde died at Amsterdam in January 1672.
