About the piece

Painted in 1662 by Reinier Nooms, also known as Zeeman, this sweeping maritime work captures the harbor of Tunis. The composition is dominated by a towering, sculptural cloud formation that catches the golden light of the horizon, while meticulously detailed ships anchor the lower third of the canvas, showcasing the artist's renowned expertise in naval architecture and atmosphere.
