About the piece

Painted in 1669 by Abraham Willaerts, this work captures a Spanish three-decker ship at anchor near a prominent lighthouse in Naples. The composition is expertly framed by a foreground quay where figures in contemporary dress watch the harbor activity, while the soft, golden light reflects the serene atmosphere of the Dutch Golden Age maritime tradition.
