About the piece
Painted by Willem van de Velde the Younger around 1690, this work exemplifies the Golden Age of Dutch maritime art. The composition centers on a majestic English warship firing a salute, its golden stern reflecting in the still water as a column of white smoke rises into a moody, cloud-filled sky.
