Salomon Verveer

Salomon Leonardus Verveer (30 November 1813 – 5 January 1876) was a Dutch marinist and landscape painter.

His tomb, a large sarcophagus resting on a catafalque, is one of the most striking monuments in this historic cemetery.

He travelled through the Rhine provinces and France, especially Normandy, where he had many possibilities to paint city, village and sea views.

[2] At the Brussels Salon of 1845 two paintings were submitted and sold to the Belgian Minister of State, Sylvain Van de Weyer (Leaving for the Market) and the British ambassador George Hamilton Seymour (A vision of Dordrech).

At the Paris World Exhibition of 1855, Emperor Napoleon III bought two paintings submitted by Verveer.
