"The Royal Yacht Mary Exchanging Salutes" is a notable maritime painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis van de Velde, who was active during the late 17th century. This artwork is a prime example of the maritime genre that flourished in the Netherlands during the Golden Age of Dutch painting, a period renowned for its detailed and dynamic seascapes.

Cornelis van de Velde, part of a family of esteemed marine painters, captures a moment of naval ceremony with meticulous attention to detail. The painting depicts the Royal Yacht Mary, a vessel of significant historical importance, engaged in the formal exchange of salutes with another ship. This scene is set against a backdrop of a calm sea and a clear sky, typical of van de Velde's ability to render natural light and atmospheric conditions with precision.

The Royal Yacht Mary was commissioned by King Charles II of England and launched in 1660. It served as a symbol of royal prestige and naval power. Van de Velde's painting not only showcases the grandeur of the yacht but also reflects the naval customs and maritime culture of the time. The exchange of salutes, a naval tradition, is portrayed with a sense of ceremony and respect, highlighting the disciplined and hierarchical nature of naval operations.

Van de Velde's technique is characterized by his fine brushwork and the use of a limited but effective color palette, which brings out the textures of the sea and the ships. The composition is balanced, with the Royal Yacht Mary prominently positioned, drawing the viewer's eye to its intricate details and the activity on deck.

This painting is an important historical document, offering insights into 17th-century naval architecture, maritime practices, and the aesthetic values of the period. It remains a significant piece within the oeuvre of Cornelis van de Velde and a valuable artifact for the study of maritime history and art.
