Simon de Vlieger (c. 1601, Rotterdam – buried 13 March 1653, Weesp) was a Dutch designer, draughtsman, and painter, most famous for his marine paintings.
Life
Born in Rotterdam, de Vlieger moved in 1634 to Delft, where he joined the Guild of Saint Luke, and then to Amsterdam in 1638, though he maintained a house in Rotterdam until 1650 when he moved to Weesp. In the 1630s and 1640s he was one of the best-known Dutch maritime painters. He moved away from the monochrome style of Jan Porcellis and Willem van de Velde, the elder towards a more realistic use of colour, with highly detailed and accurate representations of rigging and ship construction. He painted ships in harbour and at sea as well as storms and shipwrecks.
In addition to painting, he designed tapestries, etchings, stained glass windows for the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, and the organ screen for the St. Laurenskerk in Rotterdam.
De Vlieger’s talent as a painter is best seen in his beach scenes and seascapes. A master at rendering Holland’s watery atmosphere, he was probably inspired in his endeavours by the work of the older Haarlem painter Porcellis. Even though De Vlieger was born in Rotterdam and never worked in Haarlem, he must have known Porcellis’s seascapes. He could have come into contact with them after his move to Amsterdam in 1638, from which time beach scenes and seascapes took on a more important role in his oeuvre. Simon de Vlieger, who lived and worked in Rotterdam, Delft, and Amsterdam, was one of the most important and influential Dutch marine artists. Active from the 1620s to 1640s, he was the link between the turbulent tonal paintings of his teacher Jan Porcellis and the sun-filled calm images of his student Willem van de Velde the Younger. De Vlieger was a versatile artist who was equally comfortable painting dramatic storms or stately parade pictures, and simple domestic pictures of the Hollands character all of which he enlivened with small figures carefully situated within the pictorial context.[1] Simon de Vlieger was also one of the important early painters in the emerging discipline of marine art. He was a member of the Delft Guild of Painters from 1634 and by 1638 was in Amsterdam. He settled in nearby Weesp and remained there for the rest of his life. De Vlieger decisively influenced the direction of Dutch marine art during the 1630s and 1640s. He demonstrated his versatility and technical accomplishment by painting a wide variety of marine subjects and was also a sophisticated early exponent of the Dutch realist tradition. He moved away from a monochrome palette towards a silvery tonality and demonstrated a closely observed knowledge of shipping. He also painted figural representations for churches, genre scenes and landscapes, and was also an etcher. De Vlieger knew the sea and the ships that sailed it. He recorded accurately the distinguishing features of the various types of boats--from large warships to small fishing and transport vessels--and set them convincingly in the water. But it was De Vlieger's sensitivity to the atmospheric effects of water and sky along the North Sea that separates him from most other marine painters. He displayed a carefully observed understanding of his native Hollanders, and his paintings are redolent of the spirit that made Holland a world power. The stocky, determined pragmatism of the Duch character shines through his paintings and sketches.
His pupils included Willem van de Velde, the younger, Adriaen van de Velde, and Jan van de Cappelle. Jan van der Cappelle in fact owned 9 original de Vlieger paintings, and more than 1300 prints in addition to several unfinished works, one of which is illustrated below. His work was highly influential on the younger generation of maritime painters.
