About the piece

Painted in 1848 by Edward William Cooke, this masterful marine work depicts Dutch yachts navigating the swells of the Zuider Zee. The composition is defined by the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, with sunlight breaking through heavy clouds to illuminate the billowing sails and churning waves.
