Caption
Ships at Sea, 1660-1669. The importance of overseas trade, naval battles with Spain and then England, and fishing created a great demand for marine subjects. Most do not depict specific events; however, given the moral consciousness of the times, a painting of a storm at sea-just like the actual phenomenon-might prompt thoughts on the precariousness of life.
