EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white oil painting by Willem van de Velde I, titled "Royal Yacht and State Yacht Sail from Moerdijk with Charles II, King of England, on board," captures a significant moment in maritime history during the 17th century, the Age of Sail. The painting depicts King Charles II of England and Ireland (1630-1685) aboard his royal yacht and state yacht as they depart from Moerdijk in North Brabant, Netherlands. The busy harbor scene is filled with activity as sailors prepare for departure, and the coastline provides a beautiful backdrop to the event. Charles II had recently returned to England after years of exile in the Netherlands following the English Civil War. His restoration to the throne in 1660 marked the end of the Commonwealth and the beginning of the Restoration period. This painting is believed to have been created between 1660 and 1693, during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands. The painting showcases the grandeur of the royal fleet, with the king's yacht leading the way, followed by the state yacht and other ships in the background. The male and female figures on the boats and along the shore add a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The oil on canvas painting's intricate details and precise brushstrokes highlight the skill and artistry of Willem van de Velde I, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic maritime art. This painting is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Europe during the Age of Sail.
