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 Privafteer Squadron,known as the Royal Family | A fleet coming to anchor | The taking of Porto Bello by Vice-Admiral Vernon on 22 November 1739 with six men-o-war only | Flagship of Sir John Leake,coming to anchor in the bay of Barcelona | A clam estuary scene |
