About the piece
Created in 1644 by Bonaventura Peeters the Elder, this work depicts the Port of Archangel with remarkable narrative detail. The composition balances the vast, moody sky with the intricate activity of shipping and trade, even including figures with reindeer on the shoreline, characteristic of Flemish interest in distant locales and maritime power.
