"A Calm: Fishermen at Work on a Sandbank with a Wijdschip Approaching a Harbour Nearby, Other Shipping Beyond, at Dawn" is a notable marine painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Simon de Vlieger. Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies De Vlieger's mastery in capturing the serene and atmospheric qualities of the sea and sky, as well as his attention to the daily activities of seafaring folk. The painting depicts a tranquil maritime scene at dawn, with fishermen busily engaged on a sandbank, their figures harmoniously integrated into the expansive seascape. In the background, a wijdschip, a type of Dutch merchant vessel with a broad beam and shallow draft, is seen approaching a harbour, while other ships are visible in the distance, further emphasizing the theme of maritime commerce and life.

Simon de Vlieger (1601–1653) was a prominent artist of the Dutch school, renowned for his seascapes and marine subjects. His work often reflects the Dutch Republic's close relationship with the sea, highlighting both the nation's dependence on maritime trade and its naval power. "A Calm: Fishermen at Work on a Sandbank with a Wijdschip Approaching a Harbour Nearby, Other Shipping Beyond, at Dawn" is a testament to De Vlieger's skill in portraying the subtle interplay of light and atmosphere, as well as his ability to convey the calmness of the sea, which contrasts with the more turbulent scenes often depicted by marine painters of the period.

The painting's composition, with its low horizon and expansive sky, allows viewers to experience the vastness of the seascape and the early morning light. De Vlieger's use of color and his delicate rendering of the sky at dawn contribute to the overall sense of tranquility. The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, offering insight into the maritime culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
