Talk:Evert Collier

Untitled
From Reference desk/Humanities‎: I am researching the artist Evert Collier (as spelled in Wikipedia) as part of a PhD in Dutch vanitas painting. I see that you have his burial as St James's Piccadilly in London in September 1708. I have been unable to verify this in any other source and wonder if you can tell me where you got that information from. St James's themselves don't seem to have a ready reference to it so I am tracking down burial records. But it would help me enormously if you knew where your info came from and could let me know.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Best wishes

 * From my talk page:
 * A question about the death information you listed for Evert Collier was asked on the Reference desk/Humanities‎ - specifically . Can you provide any help? Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 16:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Answer:
 * These data are from the authorative and informative though regretfully monolingual website of the Netherlands Institute for Art History. It's page on Edwaert Collier (Edwaert apparently is preferred) says: "Sterfplaats/datum Londen 1708; begraven 9 September 1708, St. James's Picadilly", "Place/date of death London 1708, buried Sept 9 1708, St. James's Picadilly". It also lists his places of activity (1667-93 Leiden, 1693-1702 London, 1702-6 Leiden, 1706-8 London) and has 80 detailed descriptions of his paintings. As sources it lists: "Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart / unter Mitwirkung von 300 Fachgelehrten des In- und Auslandes ; hrsg. von Ulrich Thieme und Felix Becker (1907-1950)" and "Adriaan van der Willigen en Fred G. Meijer, A Dictionary of Dutch and Flemish Still-life Painters Working in Oils, 1525-1725, Leiden 2003" Afasmit 22:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
