Schepen bij storm 1675 - 1711

"Ships in a Storm" (1675-1711) is a detailed etching by Pieter Schenk (1660-1711), showcasing the tumultuous seas off a rocky coast. Schenk, known for his maritime artwork, captures the dynamic movement of the ships and the churning waves. The image depicts a fleet of vessels navigating choppy waters, some struggling against the elements. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Schenk's technical mastery and his focus on the grandeur and perils of the sea.
