Zeegezicht met schepen en boten in de wind 1745 - 1775

This seascape print, "Zeegezicht met schepen en boten in de wind," by Jean-François Daumont, captures a fleet of ships sailing across a choppy sea. The ships, adorned with flags, are depicted in a serene, almost idyllic setting with a calm sky, creating a sense of tranquility. Daumont, a French artist, created this print during the mid-18th century, reflecting the growing interest in maritime subjects at the time. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the artistic fascination with the sea and its vessels.
