About the piece
Painted around 1665 by Willem van de Velde the Younger, this masterpiece captures the quiet grandeur of the Dutch Golden Age fleet. The composition focuses on the intricate rigging and ornate sterns of large men-o'-war, set against an expansive sky and a perfectly still sea that reflects the ships with glass-like clarity.
