About the piece
Created by Willem Schellinks in 1668, this painting captures the Raid on the Medway from a distant, elevated perspective. The composition features a vast, atmospheric sky and a meticulously detailed landscape, where the chaos of the naval battle is signaled by billowing clouds of smoke rising from the river below.
