Aerount van der Neer was a dutch landscape artist based in Amsterdam. He never became notably successful during his lifetime, but his paintings are quite valuable nowadays. The subject of which typically includes highly detailed waterways and roads. This artist had a particular skill for noticing transparency in objects at a distance and how to represent that in a subtle and effective way. In some cases he did employ the help of Albert Cuyp as a sort of collaborative painting effort. Despite this skill he did not acquire sufficient wealth via life as an artist and was required to maintain a tavern in order to support his wife and son.
