About the piece
Painted around 1660 by the renowned Dutch marine artist Willem van de Velde the Younger, this work showcases his exceptional ability to render light, water, and complex maritime rigging. The composition features various vessels, from small boats to larger ships, maneuvering through a choppy offshore breeze under a characteristically expansive and moody Dutch sky.
