Aert de Gelder (Oct. 26, 1645 – Aug. 28, 1727) was one of Rembrandt’s last pupils while in Amsterdam, studying in his studio from 1661 to 1663. He was not only one of the most talented of Rembrandt’s pupils, but also one of his most devoted followers, for he was the only Dutch artist to paint in the tradition of Rembrandt's late style into the 18th century. Unfortunately, this stubborn approach to painting did little to elevate him. He never sold a painting and was largely unknown outside his hometown of Dordrecht. Because of his relative affluence, he was able to hold onto his own style in stark contrast to his contemporaries. // Events January 10 - Archbishop Laud executed on Tower Hill, London. ...

Van de Velde was more typical of the time in preferring quiet, unremarkable stretches of countryside, which he depicted with a muted palette of browns, greys, and greens.
The two greatest Dutch marine painters are perhaps Jan van de Cappelle and Willem van de Velde the Younger, both of whom combined sensitivity to light and atmosphere with a wonderful grandeur of composition.
AertdeGelder, for example, one of Rembrandt's final pupils, perpetuated his master's style well into the 18th century (he died in 1727), and flower painting flourished in the hands of two artists who lived up to the example of their great forebears—Jan van Huysum and Rachel Ruysch, both of whom enjoyed European reputations.
