| Born
on 09 June 1597: Pieter
Janszoon Zaenredam (or Saenredam),
Dutch painter who died on 16 August 1665. — [¿Se enredan
con Saenredam?] — Painter of architectural subjects, particularly church interiors, active in Haarlem. Saenredam, the son of an engraver, was a hunchback and a recluse, but he was acquainted with the great architect Jacob van Campen, who may have played a part in determining his choice of subject. He was the first painter to concentrate on accurate depictions of real buildings rather than the fanciful inventions of the Mannerist tradition. His pictures were based on painstaking drawings and are scrupulously accurate and highly finished, but they never seem pedantic or niggling and are remarkable for their delicacy of color and airy grace. The Cathedral of St. Bavo (where he is buried) and the Grote Kerk in Haarlem were favorite subjects, but he also traveled to other Dutch towns to make drawings, and Utrecht is represented in several of his paintings. He also made a few views of Rome based on drawings in a sketchbook by Marten van Heemskerck that he owned. His work had great influence on Dutch painting. — LINKS — Interior of the Church of St Bavo in Haarlem (1636) — Interior of the Church of St Odulphus at Assendelft, seen from the Choir to the West (1649) — The Old Town Hall of Amsterdam (1657) |

Born on 09 June 1849: Michael-Peter
Ancher, Danish painter who died in 1927. — [Was Michael-Peter
Ancher my kelp-eater rancher's equal?] — Michael Ancher was 25 years old in July 1874 when he went to Skagen, which is the northernmost part of Denmark. He was from the southmost part of the country. He could not get into the National Art Academy, because he was not born in the right place or time. At the time he came to Skagen, the village was already known for the properties of its light. But it was Michael Ancher that invited most of the other artist to come on holiday in the village. In Skagen he invited artist like Oscar Bjørck, Viggo Johansen, P.S. Krøyer, Christian Krohg. It was no doubt because his work for the most time was about the fishermen and their family that he got to be an artist. He worked much with the poor people in Skagen, almost every painting he made, was a story from these people's daily lives. Ancher did not paint “happy pictures”, but he had a understanding for the color in Skagen, and in almost every painting he used this light to give his pictures that feeling of the land. In the painting Lunch in the Garden, there is a party, but the people are not happy, they are just there, but on the trees in the background Ancher used the light and shadow in an elegant way. No other painter has used his talent on the fishermen and their lives like Ancher did. In 1880 he married Anna Ancher (1859-1935). — Fishermen Returning Home (1899) — Two Fishermen — Four Fishermen — Girl with Sunflowers (1893) — Lunch in the Garden (1905) — Young Girl Knitting (1880) — A.
