Description: | The Dutch fleet, wrecked after a naval battle, flounders in rough seas. A small ship with carved Batavian lions decorating its stern, is seen sinking at the bottom left of the canvas, as sailors make their escape on rowing boats. The busy composition and low horizon add to the dramatic effect of the painting. | Subjects: | figure; marine; military and war | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gruyter, Jacob de (Dutch painter, ca. 1630-1681) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to school of Velde, Willem van de, II (Dutch painter, 1633-1707) Previously attributed to Velde, Willem van de, II (Dutch painter, 1633-1707) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8574... | Go to resource |
