About the piece

Created circa 1650 by the Flemish master Jan Peeters the Elder, this oil on panel work is a compelling example of maritime art. It features a sailing vessel listing heavily in turbulent waters, set against a magnificent, towering sky that balances atmospheric tension with the artist's signature luminous touch.
