To kølhalede skibe 1623 - 1664

Reinier Nooms, also known as Zeeman, created this etching titled "To kølhalede skibe" in the 17th century. Depicting ships in a harbor, the artwork showcases Nooms’ masterful use of line and detail to illustrate the intricacies of ship construction and the bustling activity of maritime life. The etching highlights the importance of trade and seafaring in the Netherlands during this period. This particular work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The etching was made during the artist's short but successful career, spanning only from 1621 to 1664. "To kølhalede skibe" serves as a valuable insight into the world of maritime art and Dutch Golden Age culture.
