Huge 17th Century Dutch Marine Old Master Oil Painting Genoa Harbor Gun Salute

17th century

About the Item

Dutch man-o-War firing a salute to announce her arrival off Genoa circle of Abraham Storck (Dutch 1644-1708) oil painting on canvas: 40.5 x 72.25 inches framed: 49 x 81 inches condition: relined canvas, very presentable and in ready to hang condition provenance: private collection, South West England This stunning oil on canvas painting, measuring 40.5 x 72.25 inches, is an exceptional example of Dutch Golden Age maritime art, attributed to the circle of Abraham Storck (1644–1708). Storck, a renowned master of naval and harbor scenes, was celebrated for his intricate detailing, dramatic lighting, and atmospheric compositions. The painting captures a majestic Dutch fleet anchored before a fortified coastal city, which we understand is Genoa, with a grand flagship in the foreground, its sails billowing and cannon firing in a striking display of naval power. The luminous sky, filled with soft, drifting clouds, contrasts beautifully against the earthy tones of the harbor, cityscape, and rolling hills, creating a balanced and immersive composition. Notable for its meticulous attention to detail, the piece showcases bustling maritime activity, including merchant ships, fishing boats, and rowing vessels, reflecting the Netherlands’ dominance in global trade and seafaring exploration during the 17th century. The expertly rendered architecture, featuring domed churches and fortified walls, adds further depth and grandeur to the scene. With its impressive and monumental scale, masterful execution, and historical significance, this artwork makes a commanding statement in any collection of Old Master paintings, nautical art, or period interiors. Housed in a period-style frame, it is in excellent condition, retaining its rich colors and fine details. A rare and museum-quality offering, ideal for collectors of Dutch maritime art.
