Zeeslag bij Dungeness, 1652 1848 - 1855

"Zeeslag bij Dungeness, 1652" (1848-1855) by Petrus Johannes Schotel depicts a naval battle between the Dutch and English fleets near Dungeness, England, in 1652. This lithograph, part of a series on Dutch naval history, captures the drama of the sea battle with meticulous detail. The ships are rendered with precision, their sails billowing in the wind, while the choppy waters and billowing clouds create a sense of movement and tension. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum, Schotel's work is a testament to the artistic legacy of Dutch maritime art.
