About the piece
Attributed to Willem van Diest and dated circa 1700, this maritime scene depicts the Battle of Leghorn. The composition is defined by the powerful contrast between the towering white sails of the men-of-war and the dense, atmospheric plumes of dark smoke rising from the heat of battle, all set against a soft, luminous sky typical of Dutch marine art.
