About the piece
Attributed to Willem van de Velde the Younger around 1725, this work is a quintessential example of maritime painting. The artist masterfully captures a moment of total stillness, where the towering clouds and detailed rigging of the vessels are reflected in the motionless water, creating a sense of profound peace and atmospheric scale.
