Eva van Marle may have been the name of a Dutch Golden Age portrait painter who signed with the monogram E.M., EM.F. (E.M. fecit) and was active in Zwolle, Overijssel, between 1642 and 1654. [1] [2]
Eva van Marle may have been the name of a Dutch Golden Age portrait painter who signed with the monogram E.M., EM.F. (E.M. fecit) and was active in Zwolle, Overijssel, between 1642 and 1654. [1] [2]
According to research by J. Verbeek and J.W. Schotman in 1957, "monogrammist E.M." was possibly the teacher of Hendrick ten Oever. [3] [2] The oldest known work with an E.M. signature is a portrait of a goldsmith, who was the brother-in-law of Gerard ter Borch the Elder, dated 1645. [1] Most of the portraits depict people to their waist and all but two depict people from the patriciate and nobility of Overijssel or citizens of Zwolle. [1] Six such portraits hang in the Vrouwenhuis, Zwolle. [2]
Recent scholarship is doubtful about the existence of Eva van Marle. [1] [2] Egbert Berents van Marle, who became a citizen of Zwolle in 1637, is the ancestor of the Zwolle magisterial family Van Marle. Eva would have been of his generation, but there are no genealogical data on her. [1] The first time she is mentioned was in 1875, when the director of the Vrouwenhuis, whose grandfather was a Van Marle, attributed the six portraits there to her. Towards the end of the 20th century, Eva van Marle's existence was enough in doubt that at exhibits the works were again assigned to "monogrammist EM". Recent research suggests that the monogram may have been that of the painter Evert Meertman, who was one of six painters listed as members of the Zwolle artisan guild. Evert Meertman may be the same person as the Antwerp painter Ever(ard)t Moerman(s), who married the daughter of a local goldsmith in Zwolle in 1634, and gained citizenship in 1639. He was buried in Zwolle on April 2, 1659. [1] [2]

He was one of the earliest landscape painters of the 17th-century Dutch school, he specialized in painting the Netherlands in winter. His paintings are colorful and lively, with carefully crafted images of the people in the landscape.

Philip Fruytiers (1610–1666) was a Flemish Baroque painter and engraver. Until the 1960s, he was especially known for his miniature portraits in watercolor and gouache.

Master W with the Key also known as Master WA and Master of the Housemark was an anonymous Netherlandish engraver, who is thought to have been a goldsmith in Bruges. The name given to him refers to his monogram, which is a W followed by a key symbol. Eighty-two works signed with that monogram are extant. Many of these are ornament prints, depicting elements of gothic architecture and decorative objects, and were probably marketed mainly as patterns for other craftsmen to follow. He also produced prints of ships, the first known. He influenced several other contemporary Dutch engravers, most notably Master I. A. M. of Zwolle. He probably worked for Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy, and his ship series may have been "portraits" of the ducal fleet.

Gillis Claeissens or Egidius Claeissens was a Flemish painter of portraits and altarpieces and a member of a prominent family of artists originating in Bruges. It has only been possible to distinguish Gillis Claeissens' work from that of his father and siblings after scholars discovered a contract with the artist for the painting of a triptych.
