EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Calm Sea" by Willem van de Velde the Younger, a renowned Dutch artist from the 17th century. Created between 1665 and 1666, this artwork is executed using black chalk and gray wash techniques on paper measuring approximately 16.5 x 40.2 cm (6 1/2 x 15 13/16 in. ). Van de Velde masterfully captures the serene beauty of a tranquil sea in this composition. The calmness of the water is palpable as it stretches out towards the horizon, reflecting a soft glow from an unseen light source above. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each wave and ripple. The monochromatic palette adds depth and dimension to the scene while emphasizing its peaceful atmosphere. Van de Velde's expertise in capturing maritime subjects shines through as he expertly renders various sailing vessels dotting the horizon with precision. This print allows viewers to appreciate Van de Velde's artistic prowess even centuries after its creation. It serves as a testament to his ability to evoke tranquility through his artistry, transporting us into a world where we can almost feel the gentle breeze and hear only the soothing sounds of lapping waves against our imaginary vessel.
