Naval battle painting: tall sailing ships, smoke over grey sky, a fortress on cliffs at left, a damaged vessel at right.

Slag van de verenigde Venetiaanse en Nederlandse vloten tegen de Turken in de Baai van Foja, 1649

A naval battle unfolds on a stormy sea, with tall sailing ships under billowing sails, smoke drifting across the grey sky, and a stone fortress on rocky cliffs at left. At right, a damaged vessel tilts in the water while small boats and figures crowd the foreground of this oil painting in muted earth tones.
