Dutch Republic

Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom is a Dutch Republic Dutch Golden Age painter. 12 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings.

Hendrik Cornelisz Vroom (c.1562 – February 4, 1640 (buried)) was a Dutch Golden Age painter credited with being the founder of Dutch marine art or seascape painting. Beginning with the "birds-eye" viewpoint of earlier Netherlandish marine art, his later works show a view from lower down, and more realistic depiction of the seas themselves. He is not to be confused with his son and pupil Cornelis Vroom.
