About the piece

Created by Johannes Lingelbach in 1664, this masterwork captures the vibrant commercial life of an Italian seaport. A massive round tower anchors the composition, while merchants and travelers in exotic dress gather in the foreground against the backdrop of a large wooden vessel and a hazy coastal horizon.
