About the Item

19th Century Antique Gouache Watercolour Ink Painting Galleon Ship Maritime Seascape Continental, 19th Century Canvas: Height 88cm, width 117cm Frame: Height 102cm, width 131cm, depth 7cm Painted in gouache, watercolour and ink on canvas, this large 19th- century maritime scene depicts a Dutch galleon under full sail upon a restless sea. The composition draws inspiration from 17th century naval painting, recalling the works of Willem van de Velde and other masters who celebrated the Netherlands’ maritime ascendancy. The artist combines meticulous draughtsmanship with a sensitivity to light and atmosphere: the ship’s rigging and sails are delineated with accuracy, while soft washes of grey and umber evoke shifting skies and the shimmer of wind-tossed waves. The painting captures both the engineering brilliance of the vessel and the romance of seafaring life. Its crew are visible upon deck, dwarfed by the towering masts and taut canvas above them—a reminder of the scale and power of these early naval giants. The restrained palette, punctuated by the Dutch tricolour fluttering at the stern, heightens the sense of authenticity and period atmosphere. Glazed and housed in an ebonised frame with a gilded inner moulding, the presentation underscores the composition’s elegance and depth. With its fine execution, historic subject matter, and impressive dimensions, this work becomes an outstanding addition to any growing collection of art.
