Willem van de Velde the Elder and his son Willem van de Velde the Younger were the most accomplished and successful of all marine artists. This book is a catalogue raisonne of the paintings and grisailles of these celebrated artists. It is the life's work of the author, M.S. Robinson, whose profound knowledge of 17th-century ships and seamanship, meticulous research into the provenance of each painting, and analysis of the studio works and copies have produced a monumental work of scholarship.
