About the piece
Painted in 1651 by Jan van de Cappelle, this masterwork of the Dutch Golden Age showcases the artist’s renowned skill in rendering clouds and light. The composition features sailing ships anchored near a beach where figures gather, all dominated by a vast, moody sky that reflects the changing weather of the North Sea.
