See also:VOSMAER, CAREL (1826-1888) , Dutch poet and See also:art-critic, was See also:born at the See also:Hague on the 2cth of See also:March 1826. He was trained to the See also:law, and held various judiciary posts, but in 1873 withdrew entirely from legal practice. His first See also:volume of poems, 186o, did not contain much that was remarkable. His temperament was starved in the very thin See also:air of the intellectual See also:- HOLLAND

Holland of those days, and it was not until after the sensational See also:appearance of Multatuli (See also:Edward Douwes-See also:Dekker) that Vosmaer, at the See also:age of See also:forty, woke up to a consciousness of his own See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

talent. In 1869 he produced an exhaustive monograph on See also:Rembrandt, which was issued in See also:French. Vosmaer became a contributor to, and then the leading spirit and editor of, a See also:journal which played an immense See also:part in the awakening of Dutch literature; this was the Nederlandsche Spectator, in which a See also:great many of his own See also:works, in See also:prose and See also:verse, originally appeared. The remarkable miscellanies of Vosmaer, called Birds of Diverse Plumage, appeared in three volumes, in 1872, 1874 and 1876. In 1879 he selected from these all the pieces in verse, and added other poems to them. In 1881 he published an archaeological novel called Amazone, the See also:scene of which was laid in See also:Naples and See also:Rome, and which described the raptures of a Dutch See also:antiquary in love. Vosmaer
undertook the gigantic task of translating See also:Homer into Dutch hexameters, and he lived just See also:long enough to see this completed and revised. In 1873 he came to See also:London to visit his lifelong friend, See also:Sir (then Mr) See also:- LAWRENCE

Lawrence See also:Alma-Tadema, and on his return published Londinias, an exceedingly brilliant See also:mock-heroic poem in hexameters. His last poem was Nanno, an idyll on the See also:Greek See also:model. Vosmaer died, while travelling in See also:Switzerland, on the 12th of See also:June 1888. He was unique in his See also:fine sense of plastic expression; he was eminently tasteful, lettered, relined. Without being a See also:genius, he possessed immense talent, just of the See also:- ORDER

order to be useful in combating the worn-out See also:rhetoric of Dutch See also:poetry. His verse was modelled on See also:Heine and still more on the Greeks; it is sober, without See also:colour, stately and a little See also:cold. He was a curious student in versification, and it is due to him that hexameters were introduced and the See also:sonnet reintroduced into Holland. He was the first to repudiate the traditional, wooden alexandrine. In prose he was greatly influenced by Multatuli, in praise of whom he wrote an eloquent See also:treatise, Een Zaaier (A Sower). He was also some-what under the See also:influence of See also:English prose See also:models. (E.
