Monamy, Peter
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 Blockade of Alicante | The Second Eddystone Lighthouse | A fleet coming to anchor | Greenwhich frome the North bank of the Thames | The Royal yacht Peregrine arriving in the Thames estuary with King George i aboard in September 1714 | Related Artists: Antonio Joli1700-1777
