About the piece

Painted around 1625 by Flemish master Andries van Eertvelt, this dramatic seascape captures the perilous beauty of a storm at sea. The work is a superb example of the early 17th-century marine tradition, using striking contrast and a moody palette to emphasize the struggle between man and nature against a jagged, imposing coastline.
