  • DUTCH and ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850
    DUTCH AND ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850 The art and ship models in this station are devoted to the early Dutch and English seascape painters. The historical emphasis here explains the importance of the sea to these nations. Historical Overview: The Dutch: During the 17th century, the Netherlands emerged as one of the great maritime oriented empires. The Dutch Republic was born in 1579 with the signing of the Union of Utrecht by the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands. Two years later the United Provinces of the Netherlands declared their independence from the Spain. They formed a loose confederation as a representative body that met in The Hague where they decided on issues of taxation and defense. During their heyday, the Dutch enjoyed a worldwide empire, dominated international trade and built the strongest economy in Europe on the foundation of a powerful merchant class and a republican form of government. The Dutch economy was based on a mutually supportive industry of agriculture, fishing and international cargo trading. At their command was a huge navy and merchant fleet of fluyts, cargo ships specially designed to sail through the world, which controlled a large percentage of the international trade. In 1595 the first Dutch ships sailed for the East Indies. The Dutch East Indies Company (the VOC as it was known) was established in 1602 and competed directly with Spain and Portugal for the spices of the Far East and the Indian subcontinent. The success of the VOC encouraged the Dutch to expand to the Americas where they established colonies in Brazil, Curacao and the Virgin Islands.

  • Maritime Culture
    Section F MARITIME CULTURE ritain’s historical relationship with the sea produced a distinctive and rich culture, which is reflected in the Bcollections of museums around the United Kingdom. The objects can range from sailors’ amateur scrimshaw to a painting by JMW Turner. Many of the objects make wonderful display items, often linked to historically significant characters and events, and provide evidence to support broader stories. Maritime culture falls broadly into two categories: life at sea, which produced its own language, work songs and shanties, skills, flags and the etiquette of using them, and sailors’ arts and crafts; and largely shore-based material culture such as paintings, figureheads and commemorative material. The outputs are extensive and could form a book on their own. In this section we have covered key elements of maritime culture that will provide an accessible introduction to the subject. Maritime Culture A MANUAL OF MARITIME CURATORSHIP | 2017 1 MARINE PAINTING BY JAMES STEWARD, MA, AMA, EASTERN AREA MANAGER, NORFOLK MUSEUMS AND ARCHAEOLOGY SERVICE DEFINITION OF MARINE PAINTING Marine painting might at first seem relatively easy to define: any picture that has ships and the sea as its main subject. The term seascape could also include coastscape or beachscape – really an extension of landscape. The pure seascape is not dependent on the ship as its central theme. Therefore, marine painting may be taken as that which portrays the sea itself as well as the ships that sailed on it. Marine painting, of whatever country of origin, provides invaluable information about ship construction and design, sails and rigging, ship decoration, and the transitional age when iron superseded wood as the material of construction and steam superseded sail as the means of propulsion.
