About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Willem van de Velde the Younger, this Dutch Golden Age masterpiece depicts a single-masted vessel battling a strong gale. The striking contrast between the sun-drenched sails and the ominous, dark storm clouds showcases the artist's legendary skill in atmospheric marine painting.
