The painting "Dutch ships in a lively breeze" by an unknown maker from the area of Jacob Adriaensz Bellevois, around the 1650s, shows a dramatic sea scene with strong winds and rough weather. The painting shows several Dutch ships struggling against the powerful breeze. The waves are high and the wind flies over the sails and masts, creating a sense of tension and uncertainty.
The ships are depicted with great detail, emphasising the technical construction and the crew's efforts to steer the ships. The sky is dark and cloudy, suggesting the threat of a storm. The colour palette is limited to dark and cool tones, contributing to the painting's sombre and powerful atmosphere.
This work is an impressive example of Golden Age maritime art, showing the courage and skill of sailors who had to meet the forces of nature on a daily basis.
