About the piece
Painted in 1697 by the renowned marine artist Ludolf Bakhuizen, this work captures the restless energy of the open sea. A large Dutch man-of-war dominates the center, surrounded by smaller craft under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky that exemplifies the masterful atmospheric rendering of the era.
