Description: | Signed: yes Description: The most fascinating element here is the trireme (warship) further out at sea on the far right. Its trappings and ropes have been painted in great detail. There is a prominent lantern above its stern; and the sails are furled. The rowers appear to be dressed in white with black faces; perhaps they are corsairs. However, the ship appears to be flying a flag of a red saltire on a white field. Willaerts painted triremes in other paintings, including one flying a French flag near a harbour in a painting auctioned by Phillips and A Dutch Squadron Attacking a Spanish Fortress (1622). | Subjects: | landscape; figure; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Willaerts, Adam (Dutch marine painter, 1577-1664) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Willaerts, Abraham (Dutch marine painter, ca. 1603-1669) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8637... | Go to resource |
