This small yet powerful oil painting, measuring 23x33 cm, is housed in Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery, Kent, UK. The scene depicted is one of chaos and destruction as Lieutenant-Admiral Michiel de Ruyter leads the successful Dutch attack on Chatham, England's main naval base.

Through his artistry, he immortalizes this crucial turning point that brought an end to the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Displayed within Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery, this print from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to delve into history and witness firsthand how one fateful day forever altered maritime power dynamics between England and Holland.
