English Painter, 1681-1749 English painter. It seems likely that his family origins and name were French. The Painter-Stainers' Company records that he was apprenticed as a house painter to William Clarke from 1696, but by 1710 he had become a marine artist, filling the gap in the market left by the death of Willem van de Velde the younger in 1707. Most of his subsequent career was devoted to careful imitations of van de Velde's style (and, in some cases, of particular pictures), by which, according to Vertue, 'he distinguished himself and came into reputation'. He maintained his links with the Painter-Stainers, of which he had been made a freeman in 1703  Related Paintings of Monamy, Peter :. | THe Ship rigged royal yacht Dublin in two positions | A ship running on to rocks in a violent storm | Flagship of Sir John Leake,coming to anchor in the bay of Barcelona | A small English man-o-war proceeding down channel off Deal,the white cliffs in the distance | A Small Sailing boat and a merchantman at sea in a rising Wind |
