Kanonneersloepen in de Dordtsche Kil, 1793 1800

Reinier Vinkeles' "Kanonneersloepen in de Dordtsche Kil, 1793" is a detailed engraving depicting a fleet of Dutch gunboats on the Dordtse Kil. Created in 1800, the work offers a glimpse into the maritime activities of the Dutch navy during the late 18th century. The intricate detail of the ships and the surrounding landscape is characteristic of Vinkeles' precise and realistic style. The artwork's modest dimensions, 240 mm by 156 mm, contribute to its intimate and focused nature. Today, it is preserved in the Rijksmuseum, where it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship.
