This etching by Simon Fokke, created between 1782 and 1784, depicts the dramatic explosion of the Dutch ship "Eendracht" during the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665. The image is a powerful visual representation of the destructive power of naval warfare, with the ship exploding in a flurry of debris and smoke, surrounded by other ships. Fokke's detailed depiction of the scene provides a glimpse into the chaos and devastation of this historical event. It is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
