See also:EVERDINGEN, ALLART See also:VAN (1621-?1675) , Dutch painter and engraver, the son of a See also:government clerk at See also:Alkmaar, was See also:born, it is said, in 1621, and educated, if we believe an old tradition, under Roeland Savery at See also:Utrecht. He wandered in 1645 to See also:Haarlem, where he studied under See also:- PETER

Peter de Molyn, and finally settled about 1657 at See also:Amsterdam, where he remained till his See also:death. It would be difficult to find a greater contrast than that which is presented by the See also:works of Savery and Everdingen. Savery inherited the See also:gaudy See also:style of the Breughels, which he carried into the 17th See also:century; whilst Everdingen realized the large and effective See also:system of coloured and powerfully shaded landscape which marks the precursors of See also:Rembrandt. It is not easy on this See also:account to believe that Savery was Everdingen's See also:master, while it is quite within the range of See also:probability that he acquired the elements of landscape See also:painting from de Molyn. Pieter de Molyn, by See also:birth a Londoner, lived from 1624 till 1661 in Haarlem. He went periodically on visits to See also:Norway, and his works, though scarce, exhibit a broad and sweeping mode of See also:execution, differing but slightly from that transferred at the opening of the 17th century from See also:Jan van See also:Goyen to See also:Solomon See also:Ruysdael. His etchings have nearly the breadth and effect of those of Everdingen. It is still an open question when de Molyn wielded See also:influence on his See also:clever See also:disciple. Alkmaar, a busy trading See also:place near the Texel, had little of the picturesque for. an artist except polders and See also:downs or waves and See also:sky. Accordingly we find Allart at first a painter of See also:coast scenery. But on one of his expeditions he is said to have been See also:cast ashore in Norway, and during the See also:repairs of his See also:ship he visited the inland valleys, and thus gave a new course to his See also:art. In See also:early pieces he cleverly represents the See also:sea in See also:motion under varied, but mostly clouded, aspects of sky. Their See also:general intonation is strong and See also:- BROWN

brown; and effects are rendered in a powerful See also:key, but the execution is much more See also:uniform than that of See also:Jacob Ruysdael. A dark scud lowering on a See also:rolling sea near the walls of See also:Flushing characterizes Everdingen's " Mouth of the Schelde " in the Hermitage at St See also:Petersburg. See also:Storm is the marked feature of sea-pieces in the Staedel or Robartes collections ; and a strand with wreckers at the See also:foot of a cliff in the See also:Munich Pinakothek may be a See also:reminiscence of See also:personal See also:adventure in Norway. But the See also:Norwegian coast was studied in calms as well as in See also:gales; and a See also:fine See also:canvas at Munich shows fishermen on a still and sunny See also:day taking See also:herrings to a smoking hut at the foot of a Norwegian See also:crag. The earliest of Everdingen's sea-pieces bears the date of 1640. After 1645 we meet with nothing but representations of inland scenery, and particularly of Norwegian valleys, remarkable alike for wildness and a decisive See also:depth of See also:tone. The master's favourite theme is a fall in a glen, with mournful fringes of pines interspersed with See also:birch, and See also:log-huts at the See also:base of rocks and craggy slopes. The See also:water tumbles over the foreground, so as to entitle the painter to the name of " inventor of cascades." It gives Everdingen his See also:character as a precursor of Jacob Ruysdael in a certain See also:form of landscape See also:composition; but though very skilful in arrangement and clever in effects, Everdingen remains much more See also:simple in execution; he is mucJi less subtle in feeling or varied in See also:touch than his See also:great and incomparable countryman. Five of Everdingen's cascades are in the museum of See also:Copenhagen alone: of these, one is dated 1647, another r649. In the See also:Hermit-See also:age at St Petersburg is a fine example of 1647; another in the Pinakothek at Munich was finished in 1656. See also:English public galleries ignore Everdingen; but one of his best-known master-pieces is the Norwegian glen belonging to See also:Lord Listowel. Of his etchings and drawings there are much larger and more numerous specimens in See also:England than elsewhere. Being a See also:col-See also:lector as well as an engraver and painter, he brought together a large number of works of all kinds and masters; and the See also:sale of these by his heirs at Amsterdam on the 11th of See also:March 1676 gives an approximate See also:clue to the date of the painter's death.
His two See also:brothers, Jan and See also:Caesar, were both painters. CAESAR VAN EVERDINGEN (1606-1679), mainly known as a portrait painter, enjoyed some See also:vogue during his See also:life, and many of his pictures are to be seen in the museums and private houses of
