EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Reinier Nooms, we are transported back to the 17th century, witnessing the meticulous process of waterproofing the hulls of three flute ships. The Dutch artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures a moment in time when skilled men work diligently on these magnificent vessels. Silhouetted against a stunning maritime backdrop, five figures can be seen laboring on a floating raft beside the keeled flute ships. With their tools in hand and focused expressions, they engage in repairing and caulking, ensuring that every inch of these boats is protected from water damage. The significance of this scene lies not only in its historical context but also in showcasing the expertise required for ship maintenance during that era. As flutes were an integral part of Dutch shipping fleets at the time, keeping their hulls waterproof was crucial for successful voyages across treacherous waters. Nooms' composition expertly highlights both the grandeur and fragility of these vessels. The towering masts and intricate rigging contrast with the delicate silhouette created by workers tending to every detail below deck. Quint Lox's careful selection from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate this remarkable artwork while immersing ourselves in maritime history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, human ingenuity played an essential role in conquering nature's challenges on our vast oceans.
