About the piece

Painted around 1658 by Reinier Nooms, also known as 'Zeeman', this oil on canvas depicts the Battle of Livorno with masterful precision. The composition centers on the massive, intricately rigged vessels of the Dutch and English fleets, set against a towering column of dark battle smoke and a sprawling, atmospheric sky that epitomizes the Dutch Golden Age of marine art.
