Life

View of Edam , 1871

In the years 1839/1840 Vertin attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown. He was a student of Joannes Henricus Albertus Antonius Breckenheijmer (also Breckenheimer , 1772–1856) and Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove (1790–1880). Around 1866 he stayed in Düsseldorf . Vertin specialized in cityscapes, which he created partly topographically and partly as a fantasy. Occasionally he had Charles Rochussen (1814–1894) and Salomon Leonardus Verveer (1813–1876) paint staffages in his views. Vertin's images are represented in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and the Centraal Museum Utrecht .
