Dutch men-o-war signed with artist's initials 'A : S' (lower centre on the rowing boat) oil on canvas 31 x 39 5/8 in. (78.7 x 100.6 cm.)
Abraham Storck was born in Amsterdam in 1644 and was the youngest son of the painter Jan Jansz Storck (1603-1673), also known as 'Storckenburch'. He is known for his depictions of sea battles, Mediterranean harbour scenes, river and townscapes and whaling expeditions. A number of his works represent ceremonial gatherings of ships and demonstrate Storck's acute attention to detail. His depiction of ships, their rigging and sails is remarkably accurate and his representation of passengers and spectators is skilled. These factors contribute to the immediacy and atmosphere of these impressive works.
