Verveer, Samuel Leonardus
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or Dutch landscape- and genre-painter; born at The Hague Nov. 30, 1813; died there Jan. 5, 1876. He was a pupil of B. J. van den Hove. Verveer traveled a great deal, visiting especially the art galleries of French cities; but the scenery of his native land was ever to his mind the most beautiful in the world, and he became a master in depicting views of Dutch towns and hamlets.
Of Verveer's paintings may be mentioned: "Afternoon at Katwijk on the Sea" (now in the museum at Rotterdam); "Nordwijk on the Sea" and "Scheveningen" (both in the Amsterdam Museum of Art). The last-named painting was exhibited at Philadelphia in 1876 and was awarded a silver medal. "Salmon Fishers" and "Departure for the Market" are two of the most representative of Verveer's genre-paintings. His works were also awarded prizes at Brussels in 1842 and 1851; and many of his paintings were bought by the art galleries of Ghent, The Hague, Hamburg, etc.
