EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Dutch store ships docked in La Rochelle, France. The illustration is taken from "Desseins des differentes manieres de vaisseaux. . . depuis Nantes jusqu a Bayonne" dating back to 1679. The pencil and watercolor on paper technique adds depth and texture to the image, bringing it to life. These impressive vessels, known as flute hollandaise, were an integral part of the Dutch navy during the reign of Louis XIV. They played a crucial role in maritime trade and commerce, as well as fishing expeditions. With their sturdy hulls, towering masts adorned with billowing sails, these ships epitomize strength and elegance. The artistic rendering captures intricate details of shipbuilding design - every line meticulously sketched to perfection. It is evident that this illustration was created with great care and precision. Stored within the archives of Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France, this historic piece offers a glimpse into naval history during a significant era for both France and Holland. Its inclusion in Atlas Colbert further emphasizes its importance. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. This stunning depiction transports us back in time when La Rochelle bustled with maritime activity while paying homage to the artistry involved in shipbuilding during that period.
