About the piece

Painted in 1677 by the renowned marine artist Ludolf Bakhuizen, this striking work captures the warship 'De Jacob' at rest in a Dutch harbor. The artist's mastery of light is evident in the interplay between the billowing grey clouds and the glints of light on the restless waves, creating a sense of both maritime grandeur and quiet contemplation.
