The painting Sea Battle between Dutch Ships and Privateers is a magnificent work by Ludolf Backhuysen. The painter has depicted the exciting event with a restrained sense of drama.
The weather is calm, there is a gentle breeze, and the mighty frigates are swaying on the waves, but the Dutch are engaged in a fierce battle on the ships they have boarded. Nevertheless, it seems that the three of them are defeating the entire privateer fleet.
Backhuysen was one of the most important marine painters of the second half of the 17th century. According to sources, he regularly sailed along to observe the sea and weather conditions on the spot. The ships with their rigging and decorations are depicted with great precision.
Paintings by Backhuysen can be found in virtually every prominent museum or royal collection in and outside Europe.
