About the artwork

The Parade of Traditional Ships on the Elbe in Hamburg is a breathtaking event that takes visitors back to times gone by. This unique event presents an impressive fleet of historic ships, including sailers, mizzenewers and ewers, proudly gliding on the water. The media-rich mix of visual elements gives the scenery an enchanting watercolour effect that creates the illusion of paintings from centuries past.

The historic sailing ships, with their majestic masts and classic sail configurations, bring maritime history to life. The Besanewer and Ewer, traditional cargo ships that once ruled the waterways, showcase the craftsmanship of past generations and tell stories of the importance of shipping to the region's trade and culture.

While the parade of traditional ships captivates the viewers' eyes with its authentic charm and nostalgic atmosphere, the media mix with watercolour effect adds another dimension. The reflections of the ships on the gentle surface of the Elbe merge with the colours of the sky and the water, creating a visual spectacle that blurs the boundaries between reality and art. The scenery is reminiscent of the masterpieces of painters of past eras who immortalised the beauty of seafaring and water in their works.

The Parade of Traditional Ships on the Elbe in Hamburg is thus more than just a gathering of historic ships. It is a journey through time that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the past and experience the fascination of maritime history at first hand.
