ABSTRACT
To what extent does the marine painter’s perception of his craft coincide with other painters’ views of the genre? The position of marine painters and the opinions about marine painting among their peers are examined through three elements of the artists’ association. I chose the artists’ association for this study because here we find the highest concentration of fellow painters. We will take a closer look at Teeken-genootschap Pictura (Dordrecht), Arti et Amicitiae (Amsterdam), and Pulchri Studio (The Hague).
