Marten Waefelaerts


Marten Waefelaerts was a Flemish 18th century landscape painter.
He was probably born in Antwerp, but little is known about his early years.
He worked in the years 1790-1800. In 1792, he exhibited three landscapes in Ghent. In 1793, the "Konstmaetschappije" showed four seascapes in the Schermer Hall in Antwerp: "Ships at a stream at sunset", "Ships in a turbulent rive", "A Dutch yacht on the Scheldt to Antwerp" and "The Scheldt view on a quay in Antwerp".
He also painted religious themes, and made engravings. Other spellings of his surname are Waeffelaer and Waffelaerts.
