Acquaforte e incisione, 1645, numerata "14" in basso a destra. Dalla serie: Amoenissimae aliquot Regiunculae, et antiquorum momentorum ruinae: a Ioanne Veldio Iuniore delineatae, et per chalcographiam in luck aeditae a Nicolao Ioannis Vischerio anaglijptario. Anno. MDCXV. AMSTELODAMI, composta da diciotto paesaggi con rovine, pubblicato da Claes Jansz. Visscher (II) nel 1615. Sebbene priva di titolo e genericamente descritta dalle bibliografie, la veduta raffigura il Tevere e ponte Sisto a Roma. Si tratta di uno dei numerosi paesaggio con rovine romane che Van de Velde ritrasse durante il suo periodo italiano. Magnifica prova, stampata su carta vergata contemporanea, rifilata vicino alla marca da lettera, in ottime condizioni. Jan van de Velde II proveniva da una famiglia di artisti. Suo padre era un celebre calligrafo e insegnante ed era il nipote di Esaias van de Velde, un importante pittore di paesaggi. Anche Jan si specializzò in paesaggi, ma si fece notare come incisore e disegnatore. I suoi paesaggi incisi erano spesso basati su disegni dalla natura e la sua enfasi sui dettagli naturalistici e sulla composizione semplice influenzò altri artisti tra cui Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn. Cresciuto a Rotterdam, Van de Velde si formò come incisore con l'artista Jacob Matham a Haarlem. Nel 1614, si unì alla Gilda di San Luca di Haarlem e iniziò a produrre stampe in serie. In questa fase iniziale della sua carriera, Van de Velde era tra gli artisti più prolifici di Haarlem e aveva prodotto più di cento incisioni di paesaggi entro il 1617 (all'età di ventiquattro anni). Oltre ai paesaggi, Van de Velde creò più di cinquanta ritratti, così come scene di genere, illustrazioni di libri e dipinti. Con il progredire della sua carriera, cominciò a basare la sua produzione incisa sul lavoro di altri artisti, compreso quello di suo cugino Esaias. Lavorò anche come insegnante e suo figlio, Jan Van de Velde III, fu un pittore di nature morte. Etching and engraving, 1645, numbered “14” at bottom right. From the series: Amoenissimae aliquot Regiunculae, et antiquorum momentorum ruinae: a Ioanne Veldio Iuniore delineatae, et per chalcographiam in luck aeditae a Nicolao Ioannis Vischerio anaglijptario. Anno. MDCXV. AMSTELODAMI." consisting of of eighteen landscapes with ruins, published by Claes Jansz. Visscher (II) in 1615. Magnificent proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed close to platemark, in very good condition. Jan van de Velde II came from an artistic family. His father was a celebrated calligrapher and teacher and he was the nephew of Esaias van de Velde, an important landscape painter. Jan also specialized in landscapes but made his mark as a printmaker and draftsman. His engraved landscapes were often based on drawings from nature and his emphasis on naturalistic detail and simple composition influenced other artists including Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn.Raised in Rotterdam, Van de Velde trained as an engraver with the artist Jacob Matham in Haarlem. In 1614, he joined Haarlem's Guild of St. Luke, and began producing prints in series. At this early stage in his career, Van de Velde was among Haarlem's most prolific artists and had produced more than a hundred landscape etchings by 1617 (at the age of twenty-four).In addition to landscapes, Van de Velde created more than fifty portrait prints as well as genre scenes, book illustrations, and paintings. As his career progressed, he began to base his engraved output on the work of other artists including that of his cousin Esaias. He also worked as a teacher and his own son, Jan Van de Velde III, was a still-life painter. Hollstein 194; Franken & van der Kellen (1883), n. 233 p. 104.

Acquaforte, 1844 circa, firmata in lastra in basso. Figlio del pittore paesaggista Jacob George Strutt (1790-1864), del quale fu allievo, girovagò attraverso la Francia e la Svizzera in compagnia del padre, prima di giungere entrambi in Italia nel 1831, per stabilirsi a Roma.
