The popularity of seascapes in seventeenth-century Holland reflected the wealth and power engendered by that nation's naval superiority.  Although he was primarily a merchant and only an amateur painter, van de Cappelle is generally recognized as among the most proficient artists to specialize in this genre.  The subtle color harmonies and quiet serenity of this scene are typical of his accomplishment.

[Wall text, 1989]
