About the piece
Painted circa 1680 by the renowned marine artist Willem van de Velde the Younger, this work is a quintessential example of Dutch maritime art. The composition masterfully balances the heavy, detailed presence of the man-of-war with the ethereal, luminous plumes of cannon smoke that drift across the tranquil water.
