• Was a Dutch painter.
• Willem van der Stoop is an artist of whom we know very little.
• There are no records of when or where he was born or under whom he studied.
• The same uncertainty applies for his production of works.
• However, there is a painting signed by Stoop entitled Explosion of the Eendracht in the Battle of Lowestoft which shows similaritys to the The Battle of Chatham.
