Nicolaas Baur

Warship 'Amsterdam' on the IJ before Amsterdam, oil painting from 1807, now at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Nicolaas Baur, who was born at Harlingen in 1767, was the son of Hendricus Antonius Baur, a portrait painter (born 1736, died 1817). He painted landscapes and views of cities, and many houses in Holland are embellished by his works. He also painted moonlight and winter scenes; and was particularly successful in marine subjects. He is considered one of the best of the later Dutch marine painters. He died at Harlingen in 1820.
