Imposing and famous sailing ships are the subject of countless
Dutch paintings of the 17th Century. But the works not only bear
witness to the skills of their creator; they are documents of
historical, topographical and meteorological events. Visibly
billowing sails, glorious and proud sailing ships, a ship heeled in
the swell and the salvation of banks never to be reached: Many of
the paintings of Dutch painters from the mid-17th Century give
impressions of maritime affairs that never occurred. These images
thus open a wide horizon of interpretations from different areas of
knowledge from the period. They document the range and richness of
Holland's marine culture in the 17th Century. The works stimulate
multiple interpretations: the ship as a metaphor for life, as a
symbol of the state, for the exploration of distant lands, as a
demonstration of foreign and trade policy in the 17th Century. This
book explains the various interpretations in selected examples
while at the same time laying bare the picturesque characteristics
of eachwork. In cooperation with the National Maritime Museum in
Greenwich, London, the exhibition brings together masterpieces from
the leading marine painters of the Golden Age, and show alongside
unique, large-scale seascapes the subtle drawings from the Print
Room of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. German text.
