Zeven Provinciën a painting the pride of the Dutch navy, & a story recalled.
An adventure remembered, two visits to the Batavia Wherf ( Lelystad ), The Netherlands, while preparing for 2 paintings of the flagship Zeven Provinciën (circa 1674) for a Dutch client 🇧🇶.
Pictured below with the master shipwright of the yard, William Voss🙂.
One of the paintings is available as a superb print.
You can discover this story & see the 2 painting in my ‘marine’ website, url https://frickers.co.uk/art/marine-and-maritime-paintings/warship-maritime-paintings/zeven-provincien-royal-netherlands-navy/
