About the piece
Painted in 1689 by the Dutch master Willem van de Velde the Younger, this work captures English royal yachts and a ship flying the Royal Standard in a strong breeze. The composition emphasizes the power of nature, with the golden-lit hulls of the vessels contrasting against the churning grey waves and the towering, sun-drenched clouds.
