## About Simon de Vlieger

Simon de Vlieger (1601–1653) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and designer whose reputation rests chiefly on marine painting. Public biographical sources also associate his practice with beach scenes, landscapes, genre subjects, etchings, tapestry design, and stained-glass design. This range matters because his name may appear against more than one kind of object, even though seascapes remain the clearest point of recognition. Institutional authority records from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and national libraries help distinguish him from similarly named makers and support consistent entity matching. Collectors may therefore encounter paintings as well as drawings, etched works, and design-related material carrying his name. Each object still requires assessment from its own cataloguing evidence, particularly when its medium or subject falls outside the marine imagery for which de Vlieger is best known.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Simon de Vlieger most commonly include marine paintings, while beach scenes and landscapes also form part of his documented practice. Collectors may additionally encounter drawings, etchings, occasional genre subjects, and designs connected with tapestries or stained glass. The category and medium should be identified before selecting comparable auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

Market comparison should separate de Vlieger's best-known marine paintings from beach scenes, landscapes, genre subjects, drawings, etchings, and design-related material. The collected sources confirm a broad practice but do not provide detailed major-auction-house cataloguing or lot-level results, so they cannot support a price trend or forecast. A useful appraisal comparison should match the object to records with the closest work type and subject and use sale-specific cataloguing and realized-price data when available. The artist name alone is not a valuation conclusion. Where the medium or object type is uncertain, that question should be resolved before an auction result is treated as comparable.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source depth and object-specific evidence should be reviewed before drawing an appraisal conclusion.
