Ave Maris Stella ("Hail Star of the Sea") is a plainsong Vespers hymn to the Virgin Mary. It is of uncertain origin and can be dated back at least as far as the eighth century. It was especially popular in the Middle Ages and has been used by many composers as the basis of other compositions. The creation of the original hymn has been attributed to several people, including Saint Venantius Fortunatus.

• Dirck van Voorst (ca 1650-1655) copy Antoon van Dyck
• Hendrick, Abraham Bloemaert’s oldest son, was born in Utrecht in 1601/1602. He was trained by his father, a fact which determined his style and future career. Hendrick was in Rome in 1627 for about three months and entered the St. Luke’s guild in 1630/32. In 1631 he married Margareta van der Eem, daughter of the lawyer and painter Cornelis van der Eem in Utrecht. Hendrick is the best known and most accomplished painter of Abraham’s sons. Hendrick was principally a portrait, genre and the history painter who initially followed in the footsteps of his father, Abraham. However, his later style and more accomplished technique leads away from a Caravaggesque style associated with Abraham, to a more classical approach practised in Utrecht, Haarlem and at Court in the mid to latter part of the seventeenth century.
