Jan Porcellis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jan Porcellis (1583/5, Ghent - 29 January 1632, Zoeterwoude^[1]) was a Dutch marine artist. He was the father of the marine artist Julius Porcellis (they shared a similar repertoire of subjects and an identical signature monogram), and is generally agreed to be the more fluent artist, particularly in his sense of space and his tonal palette (subtler than his son's).
