In 1697 the Russian Tsar, Peter the Great, visited Amsterdam and its shipyards, as he wanted to modernize his country. During his stay he was taught the art of drawing ships by our young local painter. The Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg still holds paintings by Adam Silo that the Tsar brought back to Russia.
