Storm op zee after 1666

"Storm op zee" (Storm at Sea), an etching created by Joost van Geel after 1666, depicts a dramatic seascape. The print showcases a ship struggling against powerful waves as a storm gathers overhead. A tower in the distance adds a sense of scale and drama. This composition likely reflects the Dutch fascination with maritime life and the dangers encountered at sea. The detailed rendering of the waves and the ship's distressed state, along with the ominous clouds in the sky, heighten the sense of peril. Van Geel's work is a testament to the realism and dramatic detail that characterized 17th-century Dutch art.
