Jasper van den Bos
Jasper van den Bos (1634, Hoorn – in or shortly after 1656, Hoorn) was a Dutch Golden Age marine painter.
According to Houbraken his father was a ship's carpenter and he was trained as such, but turned his hand to painting marines, which he was very good at.[1] He died young, but left quite a collection of drawings that could be admired in Hoorn at the home of the painter Johannes van Bronckhorst and elsewhere.[1]
According to the RKD he painted seascapes and harbor scenes, but also made Italianate landscapes in albums.[2]
