Baroque Nationalism: Dutch Seascapes, Landscapes and Maps

Materials & Processes
• The materials used by the painters in the Dutch Baroque
period were most likely unified. They used oil paint possibly
with hog hair brushes. Artists employed the use of a wooden
palette as a surface for mixing paint. The canvases had to be
manually stretched, attached to a wooden frame, and then
placed on an easel.
• Painting processes varied. Artists often used a cartoon to
help visualize their final product.
