This article presents information on painter Heemskerk van Beest. Beest ousted his more talented namesake from the memory of the present generation. No wonder, then, that the next generation mistook his work for that of his better- known but less gifted namesake. Van Beest was a third-rate seascape painter of the second half of the nineteenth century, whose pictures were more esteemed among his own aristocratic circle at The Hague than by the initiated. The portarits had a characteristic touch of which the tame, soulless productions of van Beest are entirely devoid.
