Gerard Voorduin’s 19th-century print, "Linieschip Z.M. Kortenaer," depicts a Dutch warship, the “Z.M. Schip Kortenaer,” docked in a harbor. The ship is the focal point of the composition, its sails unfurled and its hull prominent against the cloudy sky. The artist, known for his maritime artwork, captures the ship’s details with precision, providing viewers with a glimpse into the Dutch navy during this period. This historical depiction is a significant example of maritime art, showcasing the pride associated with the Dutch naval fleet. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Dutch maritime history.
