NATURE SOUNDS-SEA STORM & MOZART REQUIEM / CHOIR
Picturi: Paintings Marine Landscape- Backhuysen Ludolf & Van Eertvelt 2
Video edited by LaurentziuRo (Romania)

Ludolf Backhuysen (1630 - 1708) was a Dutch painter, born in Emden, Hanover.
Bakhuysen started his career as a bookkeeper. He had a very nice handwriting and loved arithmetic. Working for a wealthy merchant at Amsterdam, he discovered so strong a genius for painting that he relinquished the business and devoted himself to art. He studied first under Allart van Everdingen and then under Hendrik Dubbels, two eminent masters of the time, and soon became celebrated for his sea-pieces.
He was an ardent student of nature, and frequently exposed himself on the sea in an open boat in order to study the effects of storms. His compositions, which are numerous, are nearly all variations of one subject, the sea, and in a style peculiarly his own, marked by intense realism or faithful imitation of nature. Andries van Eertvelt 1590-1652 was a Flemish Baroque painter, active in his native Antwerp. He specialized in battle scenes, marine painting and stormy seascapes.    He was one of the earliest Flemish artists to paint seascapes. After the death of his first wife in 1627 he traveled to Genoa where he worked with Cornelis de Wael. In Italy, his originally very dark palette brightened.   Back home his reputation was considerable. He sat for Van Dyck in 1632 (the portrait is now in Schaezlerpalast, Augsburg), and the poet Cornelis de Bie praised him in his verse.   The battle scenes and stormy seascapes that became his speciality are unusually crowded and dramatic in their representation of naval engagements. They can also be very large. Freely applied, sketchy brushstrokes intensify the impression of movement and action, and contrasts of light and darkness are used to convey atmospheric effects.
