Original Dimensions: 19 1/2" x 27 1/4"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (About 1650-6) "Huge clouds float across a wide sky, seeming to dwarf everything below – even the two frigates heading way out to sea, sails raised, tall and majestic. Frigates were light warships that protected the giant merchant vessels that were the lifeblood of the new Dutch Republic, reaching out across the world and bringing wealth to the small but powerful nation. Van Goyen has placed them almost centrally, with a clear sweep of water between them and us – it’s as if everything has moved aside to allow them freedom of the waterways. We don’t know if the painting represents a specific place. It’s probably an amalgamation of small scenes from van Goyen’s many drawings. He worked extremely fast, but speed didn’t prevent him from portraying a poetic vision of the Dutch landscape that holds the gaze and appeals to the imagination." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
