Description
Night-time seascape with boats. Dutch School. 17th century.
Oil on canvas. Dimensions 83 × 64 cm. This night-time scene depicts a large sailing ship anchored in calm waters beneath a partly cloudy sky, illuminated by the moon. To the left, a small group of figures gathers round a campfire in a smaller boat. Moonlight is subtly reflected on the water’s surface, creating a poetic and melancholic atmosphere. The composition combines narrative and atmospheric elements, with a restrained palette of ochres, blacks and silver highlights. This work belongs to the tradition of 17th-century Dutch marine painting, which developed a particular mastery in capturing light and weather effects. The influence of artists such as Aert van der Neer is evident in the treatment of shadows and reflections. The piece stands out for its evocative power and refined compositional balance.
