About the piece
Created in 1679 by Jan Karel Donatus van Beecq, this masterful oil painting captures the 'Royal Prince' in full sail. The work is a superb example of the late 17th-century maritime tradition, showcasing meticulous detail in the ship's rigging and the elaborate golden carvings of its stern, set against an expansive and atmospheric coastal sky.
