About the piece

Created around 1670 by Dutch artist Jacob Adriaensz Bellevois, this seascape is a quintessential example of maritime art from the Golden Age. The composition focuses on the 'retour de la pêche' (return from fishing), with small vessels and larger ships maneuvering through restless waves under a towering formation of luminous clouds that catch the low light.
