extraordinary fhip-palnter of Amfterdam ; coming over tcf
England, he was much employed by king Charles II, for whom
he painted feveral of the fea-fights between the Dutch and Eng-
lifh. He alfo underftood navigation extraordinary well, and is
faid to have conducted the Englifh fleet to the burning of Schel-
ling. i He was the father of a mafter, whom no age excelled in
fhip-painting ; and this we owe to the father's inftructions, who
was an admirable draughtfman of all maritime objects. He hved
at Greenwich to be more converfant in thefe things, which were
his continual ftudy; and in which king Charles II. and king
James II. gave him all poffible encouragement, making him
their painter with a confiderable falary, which afterwards w7as
continued to bis fon. The father in his latter days commonly
drew in black and white, cn a ground prepared on canvafs; to
which, like paper, he gave an eafy freedom to his fails and
tackle ; as alfo to every part of a {hip due proportion with infinite
neatneis; for his better information in this way of painting, he
had a model of the mails and tackle of a fhip always before him
to that nicety and exaefnefs, that nothing was wanting in it, nor
nothing Unproportionable. This model was in the hands of his
fon Olo Vander Velde, who died in London about fixty years
ago.
