About the piece

Created by the celebrated marine specialist Simon de Vlieger, this 1677 work is a masterful example of Dutch Golden Age maritime painting. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the sky and the gentle motion of traditional sailing vessels, rendered in a sophisticated monochromatic palette that brings a grounding, historical presence to any space.
