Johannes de Blaauw, 1712 – 1776, zugeschrieben

Pair of paintingsTwo Nautical Sea Pieces Oil on canvas. Each 46 x 63 cm. One inscribed "A. Storck" on a driftwood. In sculpturally decorated and gilded frame. In slightly choppy seas, each with a representative selection of ships flying the Dutch flag in order to emphasize the wide variety of vessels used in the seafaring nation. The silhouette of the shore, discreetly captured on the horizon with its buildings blurring in the haze, presumably represents a real city - perhaps that of the client. One painting shows a quay wall with a pavilion and fish traps; a three-master, presumably of the VOC, fires a salute, thus emphasizing the international trading character of the Netherlands.
