"An Indiaman in a Gale off a Rocky Coast" is a marine painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Willem van de Velde the Younger, renowned for his skillful representation of sea battles and marine landscapes. This particular work, dating from the 17th century, depicts a dramatic scene of a large East Indiaman, a type of merchant ship, battling the tumultuous conditions of a gale near a treacherous rocky coastline.

Willem van de Velde the Younger (1633–1707) was a prolific and influential figure in marine art, often drawing upon his experiences with the Dutch fleet and his extensive knowledge of ship design to create his works. "An Indiaman in a Gale off a Rocky Coast" is exemplary of his attention to detail and his ability to convey the power of the sea and the vulnerability of ships within it.

The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, the play of light and shadow, and the meticulous depiction of the ship's rigging and sails as they strain against the force of the wind. The artist's use of color and his rendering of the churning sea and ominous sky contribute to the overall sense of danger and urgency.

As with many of van de Velde's works, this painting serves not only as a piece of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the design and operation of 17th-century merchant vessels, as well as the perilous conditions they often faced. The East Indiaman was a key player in the trade routes between Europe and the East Indies, and van de Velde's portrayal of such a ship in distress would have resonated with contemporary viewers familiar with the risks of maritime commerce.

"An Indiaman in a Gale off a Rocky Coast" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Willem van de Velde the Younger and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance in the field of maritime painting.
