Galei voor anker aan de kade van het fort van Messina 1603 - 1658

This etching by Abraham Casembroot, created between 1603 and 1658, depicts a galley ship docked at the port of Messina. The scene features a detailed view of the galley, with its sails, rigging, and crew. The artist's use of fine lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and detail, characteristic of Northern Renaissance printmaking. This small-scale work offers a glimpse into the maritime world of the early 17th century.
