About this work

Dutch Vessels in a Strong Breeze, a 1618 painting by Jan Porcellis held by the National Maritime Museum, shows several sailing vessels heeling over in choppy, dark water under a heavy grey sky. Billowing sails and small red pennants animate the foreground ships, while a low distant shoreline and smaller boats recede toward the horizon.
