They gather from away to the left, moving swiftly in contrast to the seemingly motionless vessels below. An angry sun picks up the white sails and – in the far distance – the sails of a windmill, making them glow. There are reflections in the water, but a stiff breeze is already stirring, ruffling them and smudging them a murky grey brown. One boat – a flat-bottomed transport vessel suitable for inshore sailing – lowers its sails ready for the storm.\n\nClays was one of the most distinguished Belgian marine painters of his generation. Early in his career he abandoned the violent dramas of towering seas and shipwrecks favoured by the generation of marine artists working immediately before him. He chose instead calm waters and translucent light, very much in the manner of seventeenth-century Dutch marine painters.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/paul-jean-clays-ships-lying-near-dordrecht\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Ships lying near Dordrecht\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Jean Clays","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509891043571,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (29 1\/2\" x 43 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509891076339,"sku":null,"price":2047.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 3\/4\" x 21 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509891109107,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 1\/8\" x 26 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509891141875,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 1\/8\" x 32 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509891174643,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (28 5\/8\" x 42\")","offer_id":50509891207411,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (34 1\/4\" x 50 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509891240179,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (40 3\/8\" x 59 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509891272947,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (48 1\/2\" x 71 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509891305715,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ShipslyingnearDordrecht.jpg?v=1788678529","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/ships-lying-near-dordrecht-ngal1368","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
