About this work

A turbulent sea scene shows several Dutch sailing vessels under billowing sails, with a large merchant ship with flags dominating the right and small boats with rowers in the foreground. Heavy storm clouds fill the sky while a patch of light breaks through on the right, and a distant church tower rises on the horizon. This oil painting by Ludolf Bakhuizen, dated 1690, is catalogued on Wikimedia Commons under the title Vaisseaux hollandais sur une mer agitée.
