About the piece
Painted in 1640 by Jacob Feyt de Vries, this Dutch Golden Age work captures a whaling fleet at sea. The composition balances the majesty of large sailing vessels with the perilous labor of men in small rowing boats encountering whales. The atmospheric lighting and detailed rendering of the ships against a rocky coastline offer a window into 17th-century maritime history.
