About the piece
Painted around 1675 by Adriaen van der Cabel, this oil on canvas depicts a busy southern port, likely inspired by the artist's time in Italy. The composition skillfully balances the towering masts of ships and a robust stone lighthouse against a soft, sun-drenched sky, while figures on the dock provide a sense of daily maritime life.
