Willem van de Velde, the Elder, was a prominent Dutch Golden Age artist renowned for his marine paintings and drawings. Born in Leiden in 1611, van de Velde developed a keen interest in maritime subjects, likely influenced by the bustling port activities of his hometown. His works are celebrated for their meticulous detail, capturing the dynamic and often tumultuous nature of the sea, as well as the intricacies of naval vessels and maritime life.

Van de Velde's career flourished during a period when the Dutch Republic was a dominant maritime power, and his works often reflect the naval prowess and seafaring culture of the time. His ability to depict the movement of water and the play of light on the waves set him apart from his contemporaries. His paintings and drawings were not only artistic achievements but also served as historical records of naval battles and ship designs.

In 1672, van de Velde moved to England, where he continued to enjoy patronage from the English court. His contributions to marine art were highly valued, and he was appointed as a marine painter to King Charles II. This position allowed him to document significant naval events and further refine his craft.

Willem van de Velde, the Elder, worked closely with his son, Willem van de Velde, the Younger, who also became a distinguished marine artist. Together, they left an indelible mark on the genre, influencing subsequent generations of marine painters. Van de Velde's legacy is preserved in numerous collections around the world, where his works continue to be admired for their technical precision and evocative portrayal of the sea.
