To hollandske fregatter 1623 - 1664

"To hollandske fregatter" (Two New Frigates) is an etching by Reinier Nooms, known as Zeeman, a Dutch artist whose short life spanned from 1621 to 1664. The detailed black-and-white print shows two Dutch warships sailing on a choppy sea, captured with meticulous precision and a sense of realism. The print, dating from 1623-1664, is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This work highlights Zeeman's expertise in depicting maritime scenes, a subject he became well-known for in the Dutch Golden Age.
