About the piece
Painted around 1815 by Martinus Schouman, this oil on canvas captures the tense atmosphere of the French bombardment of Dordrecht in 1813. The composition balances the solid architecture of the town with the dynamic movement of sailing vessels and the billowing smoke of battle under a vast, atmospheric Dutch sky.
