About the piece
Painted by Pieter Cornelisz van Soest, this work depicts the Four Days' Fight of 1666, one of the longest naval engagements in history. The composition is filled with meticulously detailed Dutch and English ships amidst billowing smoke and churning waves, while a dramatic, clouded sky hangs over the tactical chaos of the sea.
