The Dutch Attack on the English Fleet in the Medway in June 1667 is a historical painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Cornelisz. van Slingelandt. This artwork captures a pivotal moment during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667), specifically the daring raid by the Dutch navy on the English fleet anchored in the River Medway. The event, which took place in June 1667, is considered one of the most humiliating defeats in British naval history and a significant victory for the Dutch.

Van Slingelandt, known for his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of genre scenes, brings this dramatic episode to life with remarkable precision. The painting vividly depicts the chaos and destruction wrought by the Dutch forces as they navigated the Medway, breaking through English defenses and setting fire to ships. The composition is dynamic, with a strong sense of movement and urgency, reflecting the intensity of the battle.

The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the contrast between the burning ships and the dark, smoke-filled sky. The meticulous rendering of the ships, the water, and the figures involved in the conflict showcases van Slingelandt's technical skill and his ability to convey complex scenes with clarity and realism.

This painting not only serves as a historical record of a significant naval engagement but also exemplifies the high level of artistry achieved by Dutch painters during the Golden Age. Van Slingelandt's work provides valuable insight into the maritime history of the period and the broader geopolitical struggles between England and the Dutch Republic. The Dutch Attack on the English Fleet in the Medway in June 1667 remains an important piece of cultural heritage, reflecting both the artistic and historical narratives of the 17th century.
