Rotterdam - buried30 September 1645 ,Leiden [ [http://www.rkd.nl/rkddb/dispatcher.aspx?action=search&database=ChoiceArtists&search=priref=64324 Julius Porcellis at the Netherlands Institute for Art History] ] ) was a Dutchmarine artist . He was the son of the marine artistJan Porcellis , and a follower of him in artistic terms - their choice of subjects was similar and their signature monogram the same, but Julius's palette (often distinctively creamy, with vivid colours late in his career in an even greater departure from Jan's tonal style) is agreed to be less subtle, and his style and sense of space less fluent. He was born inRotterdam and died inLeiden .References
