(Queen's House) Exhibition tracing the emerging genre of maritime art in the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. The paintings range from dramatic seascapes and depictions of storms and shipwrecks (often used allegorically with ships as symbols for the soul, as in Adam Willaerts' Jonah and the Whale) to tranquil depictions of coastal waters by the principal artists of the period, among them Jan Porcellis, Simon de Vlieger, Ludolf Backhuysen and Jacob van Ruisdael.
