Description: | A ship off centre, with a yellow sail, forms the focal point. A small open boat climbs choppy waves in the foreground. Above is an oculus of blue sky, while a mass of storm clouds blows away to the right over a foreshore with a few figures, and a village and church steeple punctuating the far horizon. On the left in the far distance, a stately man of war reflects the nation's status as a major sea power. Against the far horizon is an illuminated city, which might be Amsterdam, to where the artist moved in 1650 and found his source material. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Backhuysen, Ludolf, I (Dutch painter, calligrapher, and printmaker, 1630-1708) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8399... | Go to resource |
