Dutch painter (b. 1577, Antwerpen, d. 1664, Utrecht) During his early years in Antwerp he was impressed with the colourful paintings of the Fleming Jan Breughel the elder, but the subject and style of his earliest known picture, Dutch East Indiamen off the West African Coast (1608; Amsterdam, Hist. Mus.), presumably painted after the artist's arrival in Holland, shows the influence of the Dutch marine painter Hendrick Cornelisz. Vroom. In this painting Willaerts adopted Vroom's austere compositional scheme of an uninterrupted horizontal expanse of water with no framing devices,  Related Paintings of WILLAERTS, Adam :. | Haidar Ali-s Tomb in t he Lal Bagh Garden at Seringapatam | Rouen Cathedral | Portrait of Leonie Bouguereau | The Triumph of Venus | morkulla |
