You are perfectly right respecting the hot rooms here, which we all cry out against, and all find very comfortable much more so than the cold sands and bleak neighborhood of the sea; which looks vastly well in one of Vander Velde's pictures hung upon crimson damask, but hideous and shocking in reality.
The heavens were as colourless as Van der Velde's skies, and the travellers, who, trusting to painters, had dreamed of a blaze of colour, gazed with amazement upon the vast extent of absolutely flat, grayish toned land, which in no wise recalled Egypt, at least such as one imagines it to be.
'Cattle grazing before a peasant's cottage, which is in the Dresden Gallery, is considered very fine. A fine 'Winter Landscape, and a 'Farm Cottage, are in the National Gallery. Some of Adrian Van de Velde's best work, as well as his brother's, is in England. Jan Van der Heyden, 'the Gerard Dow of architectural painters, was born in 1637 and died in 1712.
William Van de Velde's triumphs in calm seas are seen especially in his pictures at the Hague and in Munich. Some of Van de Velde's best works are in the National Gallery. Backhuysen born in 1631, died at Amsterdam in 1708, was another admirable marine painter.
He wrote over the ships their names and those of their commanders; and under his own frail craft V. Velde's Gallijodt, or Myn Gallijodt. After having executed many capital pictures for the States of Holland, Van de Velde was invited to England by Charles II., who had become acquainted with his talents during his residence in Holland.
