Hendrick van Anthonissen
Hendrick van Anthonissen (* around 1605 probably in Amsterdam ; † before 1660 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter who worked as a marine painter .
Life
Hendrick van Anthonissen was born as the son of the painter Aert Anthonisz. called Antun and his wife Barbara Coetermans born in 1605 or 1606. This imprecise date results from a declaration in 1643 that he was 37 years old and in 1647 that he was 42 years old. There is evidence that he lived with his father in Amsterdam in 1629, so that this city is also accepted as his birthplace. In 1630 he married Judieth Flessiers, whose sister had been married to the well-known marine painter Jan Porcellis since 1622 . Porcellis, whose pupil he was in 1626, and van Anthonissen were related by marriage. Around 1631 his son Arnoldus van Anthonissen , called Aernout, was born, who also became a marine painter.
In 1632 Hendrick van Anthonissen lived in Leiden , in 1635 in Leiderdorp and in 1642, after the successful sale of his house, he moved to the Anthonispoort in Amsterdam. There is evidence that he lived in Amsterdam until 1647 and then went to Rijnsburg for a few years , but returned in 1654 and in the same year was chased out of his house due to insolvency and sent to the guilty prison. He stayed in the city until his death; In a letter in 1660, his wife was described as a widow, so that he must have died by that time.

Like his father, Hendrick van Anthonissen also made seascapes , creating both calm and moving seascapes, sea battles and beach scenes. One of the most famous pictures of naval battles is the painting Episode from the Naval Battle of Duins from 1639 , which is now hanging in the Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam. A better-known view of the beach dates from 1635 and is presented in the Schwerin State Museum as the beach of Scheveningen . In this painting, a close relationship with the works of Jan Porcellis can be recognized, especially with his shipwreck on the beach of 1631, which is in the Mauritshuis in The Hague .
