Biography

According to the RKD he was the son of the painter Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom, the older brother of Frederick and Jacob, and the father of the painter Jacob Cornelisz Vroom.[1] He became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1634.[1]

According to Arnold Houbraken in 1718, who repeated a list of names from Theodorus Schrevelius's 1648 book on Haarlem called Harlemias, he was the son of Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom and a good landscape painter of Haarlem along with "Joh. Jakobsz.", who was in Italy for many years, "Nicol. Zuyker", Gerrit Claesz Bleker, Salomon van Ruysdael, and Reyer van Blommendael.[2]

Like his father, Vroom is best known for his landscapes and seascapes.

He was a strong influence on fellow local Haarlem landscapist Jacob van Ruisdael.[3]

gollark: Not really. I mean, they're expecting to just magically moderate stuff outside the subreddit or servers they control (which I strongly disagree with), and did not explain how the possibility of fake screenshots or whatever could be handled.
gollark: The whole "trust us it will be enforced sanely even though we won't explain ~~why~~ how" thing, centralizing meme picking power...
gollark: I agree. To some extent. Ish.
gollark: Firm discords *did* presumably ping people with memes people in the firm liked, or you wouldn't be banning that...
gollark: Eh, I feel like the MemeEconomy way encourages you to invest sooner, at least.
