About the piece
Created around 1639 by Agostino Tassi, this painting captures the monumental scale of Baroque maritime industry. The composition uses dramatic shadows and high-contrast lighting to reveal the activity of laborers within a cavernous, vaulted shipyard, highlighting the structural beauty of both the stone architecture and the wooden hulls of the ships.
