Born into a family with a strong artistic heritage, Willem van de Velde the Younger (1633–1707) was the son of Willem van de Velde the Elder, also a distinguished marine artist. Under the tutelage of his father and through his own innate talent, van de Velde the Younger mastered the art of capturing the tumultuous and dramatic essence of the sea and its vessels.

The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the ships' intricate rigging, the billowing sails, and the tumultuous sea, all of which contribute to the painting's dramatic impact.

Willem van de Velde the Younger's work serves not only as a stunning example of maritime art but also as a valuable historical document, offering insight into naval warfare tactics, ship design, and the maritime culture of his time.
