Carel Vosmaer
Carel Vosmaer (March 20, 1826 – June 12, 1888) was a Dutch poet and art-critic, born at The Hague. He wrote under the pseudonym Flanor.
==Life==
He was trained to the law, and held various judiciary posts, but in 1873 withdrew entirely from legal practice. His first volume of poems, 1860, did not contain much that was remarkable. His temperament was starved in the very thin air of the intellectual the Netherlands of those days, and it was not until after the sensational appearance of Multatuli (pen name of Edward Douwes-Dekker) that Vosmaer, at the age of forty, woke up to a consciousness of his own talent. In 1869 he produced an exhaustive monograph on Rembrandt, which was issued in French.
Vosmaer became a contributor to, and then the leading spirit and editor of, a journal which played an immense part in the awakening of Dutch literature; this was the Nederlandsche Spectator, in which a great many of his own works, in prose and verse, originally appeared. The remarkable miscellanies of Vosmaer, called ''Birds of Diverse Plumage'', appeared in three volumes, in 1872, 1874 and 1876. In 1879 he selected from these all the pieces in verse, and added other poems to them. In 1881 he published an archaeological novel called ''Amazone'', the scene of which was laid in Naples and Rome, and which described the raptures of a Dutch antiquary in love.
Vosmaer undertook the gigantic task of translating Homer into Dutch hexameters, and he lived just long enough to see this completed and revised. In 1873 he came to London to visit his lifelong friend, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and on his return published ''Londinias'', an exceedingly brilliant mock-heroic poem in hexameters. His last poem was ''Nanno'', an idyll on the Greek model. Vosmaer died, while travelling in Switzerland, on the 12th of June 1888.
