About the piece
Created around 1820 by Johannes Christiaan Schotel, this oil on panel is a superb example of the Dutch maritime tradition. The work features various sailing ships contending with white-capped waves, set against the distant silhouette of Dordrecht's cathedral tower. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, light-filled sky that captures the fleeting, moody atmosphere of the North Sea coast.
