description: "Isaac Sailmaker was a Dutch-born British painter and etcher who specialised in marine art. He was referred to in contemporary books and journals as \"the father of British sea painting\", but was eclipsed by his contemporaries, the Dutch marine painters Willem van de Velde the Elder and his son Willem van de Velde the Younger, who for a period dominated the London market. Sailmaker was commissioned by the English Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, to paint the English fleet at Fort-Mardyck."
