About the piece
Painted around 1620 by Jan Porcellis, a pioneer of Dutch marine art, this oil-on-panel work captures the intense atmospheric tension of a storm at sea. Porcellis masterfully renders the fragility of the ships against the churning, foam-capped waves and heavy, grey clouds, showcasing the era's sophisticated tonalist style and maritime heritage.
