EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majesty of an English third-rate 60-gun ship from the 17th century, viewed from a close angle on the port bow. Painted by Willem van de Velde the Elder, this detailed artwork showcases men furling the main and mizzen topsails while the fore topsail remains loosed on the cap. The decks are bustling with activity as sailors go about their duties on board.
The ship depicted in this print could possibly be identified as either the 'Lion', 'Dunkirk', or 'Gloucester'. The intricate details of this piece provide a glimpse into naval life during this era, highlighting both the grandeur and complexity of these impressive vessels.
Offset rubbed on the back, this print is a reproduction of an accurate and detailed original work by van de Velde. The watermark suggests it was created around 1673, adding to its historical significance.
This artwork not only serves as a beautiful decoration but also as a window into maritime history. It transports viewers back in time to an age when ships like these ruled the seas, showcasing both their power and grace in equal measure.
