Salomon Leonardus Verveer
Salomon Leonardus Verveer (Salomon Leonardus Verveer, November 30, 1813 - January 5, 1876) was a Dutch seascape and landscape painter, one of the most versatile and successful painters of Dutch romance, both at home and abroad. His sepia gouache and drawings are much appreciated. He is buried in the old Jewish cemetery Scheveningseweg in The Hague. His tomb, a large sarcophagus resting on a hearse, is one of the most striking monuments in this historic cemetery. Verveer was an eminent Jewish-born artist from The Hague. Initially, he painted city and port landscapes, river landscapes and village scenes. He later began painting dunes and Jewish quarters, in addition to experimenting with coal. The artist studied with Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove, worked with Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch and taught Frederick Hendrik Kemmerer. He traveled to the Rhine provinces and France, especially Normandy, where he had many opportunities to paint cities, villages and sea views.
