Allart van Everdingen
Allart van Everdingen (* before June 18, 1621 in Alkmaar , † before November 8, 1675 in Amsterdam ) was a Dutch painter .
Life
Everdingen learned from Roelant Savery in Utrecht and went on trips between 1640 and 1644, which took him to Sweden and Norway . The painting Weapons Production in Sweden with the Cannon Foundry in Julitabroeck was created there. The sight of the gloomy forests, the waterfalls, the rocky mountains and the surf in these countries became formative for his art.
When he returned to Holland , where he was accepted into the Guild of St. Luke in Haarlem in 1645 , he treated motifs from Norway, which are distinguished by their masterful presentation, the strong, gloomy, sometimes heavy color and the artfully distributed light and with the best Ruisdael's creations compete.
The most outstanding paintings by Everdingen are owned by the Gemäldegalerie Dresden , others by the Munich Pinakothek , the Louvre in Paris and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
His pictures of the Dutch nature should also be emphasized. Everdingen shows greater inventiveness in his etchings , of which Drugulin (Leipz. 1873) published a catalog; they depict landscapes , navies and the story of Reineke Fuchs .
In 1657 Everdingen settled in Amsterdam, where he died in November 1675.
His brother Caesar van Everdingen (* 1606 in Alkmar; † 1679) was a history and portrait painter of a somewhat common view.
