The Dutch and English Fleets

This is a reproduction of “The Dutch and English fleets meet on the way to Boulogne in 1805″ by Martinus Schouman of 1806.  This traditional depiction of naval warfare was produced when Schouman was thirty-six years old.  He was a master of seascapes and the son of a sea captain.  He studied under his uncle Aert Schouman in the Hague and became one of the foremost sea painters of his day operating out of his studio at Dordrecht.  He moved to Breda in 1841 and died there eight years later.  This painting documents the meeting of the British and Dutch fleets during the later stages of Napoleon’s planning for his invasion of Britain.  This masterpiece is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
