About the piece
Created around 1700 by Willem van de Velde the Younger, this oil painting is a masterful example of Dutch marine art. It captures the raw power of the ocean, with small vessels struggling against choppy waves under an expansive, atmospheric sky where sunlight begins to break through receding storm clouds.
