I can’t imagine a person who doesn’t like water and sea, who can’t devote hours to enjoying its beauty and power. I can spend on the seashore hours and I will never get enough of it. That is why I think an exhibition at the National Maritime Museum that shows the sea by Dutch and Flemish painters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is a great opportunity to devote a couple of minutes to the sea.

Ship - sea

It was exactly the time when the Dutch Republic was gradually gaining a great maritime power. And people simply needed the pictures to celebrate their successes and discoveries.

Namely in this time there appeared the seascape as a genre. Many artists used the ship as a symbol for the soul.

The exhibition is called Turmoil and Tranquillity.
