"Dort or Dordrecht- The Dort Packet-Boat from Rotterdam Becalmed" (1818) by Joseph Mallord William Turner captures the serenity of a becalmed ship in the Dutch harbor city of Dordrecht. The painting, typical of Turner's later style, depicts a ship with sails lowered, a common sight in a calm harbor. The soft brushstrokes, pale light, and atmospheric perspective contribute to the scene's stillness and tranquility, further highlighting the romanticism of the landscape painting genre of the time.
