About the piece
Painted in 1668 by Hendrik Martenszoon Sorgh, this oil-on-panel work is a masterclass in Dutch marine tradition. The composition captures the atmospheric tension of a gathering storm, with ships tilting against white-capped waves beneath an expansive, light-pierced sky that dominates the upper half of the frame.
