About the piece
Painted in 1684 by Ludolf Bakhuizen, the preeminent Dutch maritime artist of the late 17th century, this work captures the awe-inspiring scale of nature. The composition pits fragile fishing vessels against the immense force of the North Sea, rendered with sophisticated light effects and a masterful handling of water and atmospheric clouds.
