Esaias van de Velde

Esaias van de Velde (17 May 1587 (baptized) – 18 November 1630 (buried)) was a Dutch landscape painter.

He probably studied under his father and Gillis van Coninxloo, a landscape painter from Antwerp and a follower of Pieter Brueghel the Elder.

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.
