Dutch School
Cornelis Van de Velde (1675-1729)
A British Man-of-War Firing a Salute near the Shore
Oil on Canvas
Signed lower left 'C.V. Velde'
Note:
The composition of the painting is close to that of his father which is now in the Picture Gallery of Prins Willem V in The Hague and on loan to the Insituut Collectie Nederland in Amsterdam (NK2366). Either painting depicts a large ship firing a salute close to the shore with a beached vessel in the foreground. Cornelis though has chosen to depict a much larger Man-of-War as opposed to the 'sixth-rate' frigate in his his father's painting. Both vessels display the Royal coat-of-arms on the stern. The painting recently acquired by the Washington National Gallery of Art by Willem van de Velde displays a large frigate of a similar ilk (inv/cat.nr.2018.10.1).
Provenance:
Private Collection, New York
Dimensions:
20 in. (H) x 24.25 in. (W)
