De Slag in de Sont, 1658, is a painting by the renowned Dutch maritime artist Willem van de Velde the Elder. This artwork depicts the Battle of the Sound, a significant naval engagement that took place on November 8, 1658, during the Northern Wars. The battle was fought between a combined fleet of the Dutch Republic and Denmark-Norway against the Swedish navy, near the Øresund Strait, also known as the Sound.

Willem van de Velde the Elder, born in 1611, was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of painting, particularly known for his detailed and dynamic maritime scenes. His works are celebrated for their accuracy and attention to detail, often based on firsthand observations. Van de Velde's ability to capture the drama and complexity of naval battles made him a sought-after artist of his time.

The painting features a multitude of ships engaged in combat, with billowing sails and smoke from cannon fire filling the scene. The composition effectively conveys the tumultuous nature of naval warfare, highlighting the strategic maneuvers and the sheer scale of the engagement.

The Battle of the Sound was crucial in maintaining the balance of power in the region, as the Dutch and Danish forces successfully thwarted Swedish attempts to control the Baltic Sea. This victory ensured continued Dutch access to vital trade routes and reinforced Denmark's territorial integrity.
