About Artwork: (1683) "Towering storm clouds threaten vessels fighting choppy waves on the Zuiderzee – once an inlet of the North Sea in the north coast of the Netherlands. The man-of-war (battleship) sailing away from us on the right flies the Dutch flag and has the arms of Amsterdam on its stern, as does the smaller boat, a boyer yacht, pitching forward on the wash from the vessels ahead. In spite of the presence of the men-of-war, Bakhuizen’s main feature is the wijdschip (‘wide ship’), a much less glamorous vessel widely used on the Zuiderzee. The sea was the usual mode of transport for the Dutch so they were used its many moods. Someone here seems to stretch that relaxed attitude to danger by having a picnic – an old woman eats her soup only a few feet above the water, unconcerned with anything but her meal." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
