"Shipping in Calm Waters" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Ludolf Backhuysen, also known as Ludolf Bakhuizen. Born in 1630 in Emden, East Frisia, Backhuysen moved to Amsterdam in 1650, where he became renowned for his marine art. The painting "Shipping in Calm Waters" is an exemplar of his mastery in depicting serene maritime scenes, showcasing his ability to capture the tranquil sea and the intricate details of the ships that sail upon it.

The artwork is characterized by its detailed rendering of the vessels, the calmness of the sea, and the skillful use of light to convey the peaceful atmosphere. Backhuysen's attention to the technical aspects of the ships, from the rigging to the hull, reflects his deep knowledge of maritime subjects, which he gained through his experiences in Amsterdam's bustling ports. The painting's composition typically features a horizon line that emphasizes the vastness of the sea, while the ships are often portrayed in a state of gentle motion, their sails billowing softly in a light breeze.
