Tweede gevecht met de Portugese vloot bij Cabo Blanco, 1640 1645 - 1647

"Tweede gevecht met de Portugese vloot bij Cabo Blanco, 1640" is a 17th-century etching by Salomon Savery, depicting the second battle between the Dutch and Portuguese fleets off the coast of Cabo Blanco. The detailed scene portrays a chaotic naval engagement with numerous ships engaged in combat, their sails billowing in the wind. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and realism, while the smoke and cannon fire add to the dramatic atmosphere. The artwork, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the history of Dutch maritime power during the 17th century.
