About the piece
This atmospheric 1650 oil painting by Jan Peeters the Elder captures the peril and majesty of 17th-century maritime exploration. A Dutch sailing ship, flying its tricolor flag, is shown amidst churning, dark waves against the backdrop of Table Bay's rugged coastline. The play of light through the heavy clouds adds a sense of drama and scale to this classic seascape.
