PEETERS, Bonaventura
(b. 1614, Antwerpen, d. 1652, Hoboken)

Ships near a Pier

1630s
Oil on panel, 37 x 69 cm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Peeters's most characteristic work includes his atmospheric views, painted in a grey-blue monotone, of the wide estuary of the Scheldt and the coast of Flanders.

This seascape shows different small ships and rowing boats in strong winds at a pier. On the left a mill and a church can be seen on the shore.
