Esaias van de Velde was a Dutch landscape
painter. He was born in Amsterdam, where his Flemish father Hans had fled as a
Protestant in 1585. He probably studied under his father and Gillis van
Coninxloo, a landscape painter from Antwerp and a follower of Pieter Brueghel
the Elder. Van de Velde worked in Haarlem from 1610 to 1618, and joined the
Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1612 along with Hercules Segers. This event in
many ways established realistic landscape paintings as a separate genre in that
part of the Netherlands. Van de Velde had been influenced by the German painter
Adam Elsheimer to develop his paintings in a more naturalistic direction than
his tutor and to adopt a low viewpoint and a triangular composition. In addition
to landscapes, van de Velde also painted genre and military paintings. He died
in The Hague in 1630, where he had been Court Painter to the Prince Maurits and
Frederick Henry. According to the RKD, he was influenced by Roelant Savery and
Jan van de Velde.
