Zeegezichten met schepen en roeiboot 1689 - 1760

Adam Silo's "Zeegezichten met schepen en roeiboot" is a detailed etching depicting a seascape with several ships and a rowing boat. Created between 1689 and 1760, the artwork showcases the artist's skill in rendering the movement of the water and the ships, giving a sense of the dramatic and dynamic nature of the sea. The use of hatched lines creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene. This etching is a great example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with maritime scenes, particularly those focusing on the power and beauty of ships at sea.
