This is a good example of early Dutch marine painting, dating circa 1610/1620, attributed to Aert Anthonisz.: a ship flying the flag from Hoorn is swiftly sailing over a beautifully stylised green sea.
Anthonisz. was one of those early Dutch marine specialists of Flemish origin who, at a young age, had fled with his parents from Flanders for religious reasons.
Until 1973 Aert Anthonisz. was known as Aert van Antum, because his signature had been misread.
