Schepen op kalme zee 1627 - 1636

"Schepen op kalme zee" (Ships on a Calm Sea) is an etching by the prolific Czech artist Wenceslaus Hollar. Created between 1627 and 1636, the artwork captures a serene seascape featuring a fleet of ships sailing across a tranquil ocean. Hollar’s detailed and precise lines convey the stillness of the water, the gentle sway of the ships, and the vastness of the horizon. This work is a testament to Hollar's mastery of etching and his ability to depict the subtle beauty of the natural world. The etching is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
