About Artwork: (About 1665) "Ludolf Bakhuizen rarely made his seas calm or sunlit. His is a northern sea with boats scudding before the wind, evoking the sound of straining timbers and slapping rigging. The vessel speeding towards the distant man-of-war (battleship) is a snaauwschip – a dispatch boat. The man-of-war is at anchor, its sails furled, flying the Dutch colours. The snaauwschip tows a small vessel, perhaps to transfer one of the crew with urgent orders for the man-of-war before it sets sail for one of the many wars fought by the Dutch at the time. Closer to us the sea becomes more turbulent. A small flat-bottomed boat lying low in the water fights the waves, the sail lowered. Just one face looks out – full of character, the owner’s hand on the tiller – unperturbed and calm in the face of nature’s power." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
