Schepen voor een kust 1605 - 1620

"Schepen voor een kust" (Ships off a Coast) is an etching by Hendrick Goltzius, a prominent Dutch artist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The artwork depicts multiple ships sailing on the open sea, with a rocky shore in the background. The use of detailed linework and cross-hatching to render the ships and the choppy water evokes a sense of realism and movement. This etching, likely created between 1605 and 1620, showcases Goltzius's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the dynamism of maritime life.
