Monamy, Peter
English Painter, 1681-1749
English painter. It seems likely that his family origins and name were French. The Painter-Stainers' Company records that he was apprenticed as a house painter to William Clarke from 1696, but by 1710 he had become a marine artist, filling the gap in the market left by the death of Willem van de Velde the younger in 1707. Most of his subsequent career was devoted to careful imitations of van de Velde's style (and, in some cases, of particular pictures), by which, according to Vertue, 'he distinguished himself and came into reputation'. He maintained his links with the Painter-Stainers, of which he had been made a freeman in 1703 Related Paintings of Monamy, Peter :. | An Action at Gibraltar | The Capture of the San Joseph | The taking of Porto Bello by Vice-Admiral Vernon on 22 November 1739 with six men-o-war only | Stern view of the Royal William firing a salute | English ships beating to windward in a gale | Related Artists: Pavlosky, VladimirAmerican, 1884-1944 Barend Avercamp(1612-1679) was a Dutch painter.

He was a member of the Guild of Saint Luke, and traveled around the Netherlands including Zwolle and Zutphen for his settings and inspiration.
