Sieuwert van der Meulen (1663 – 18 June (buried) 1730) was an 18th-century painter from the Northern Netherlands.
Biography
He was born in Alkmaar, the son of Catharina Oostfries and Claes van der Meulen and became a member of the Alkmaar Guild of St. Luke in 1700.[1] He designed and etched prints, for example a series of 16 etchings titled Navigiorum Aedificatio, on the history of a ship. This was published by Peter Schenk the Elder in Amsterdam and shows a pictorial documentary of how ships were built, launched, repaired, provisioned, and used in the early 18th century.
According to the RKD he is known for marinescapes and birds.[2] He also worked in Haarlem, but died in his home town of Alkmaar.[2]
