About Artwork: (About 1670-5) "The great ship running before the wind in the centre of Bakhuizen’s picture is the Eendracht, one of the most famous vessels in the Dutch Navy. Built in 1653, the Eendracht was the 76-gun flagship of Lieutenant-Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer van Obdam.
Bakhuizen painted the Eendracht several times but always from sketches or memory. The artist’s ship portraits are usually accurate but in this one he is less so. The lion carved into the Dutch coat of arms in the stern should be shown rampant – that is, upright on its hind legs.
But perhaps there is a purpose in Bakhuizen laying his lion low. The picture may portray the fleet’s departure for the Battle of Lowestoft against the English on 3 June 1665. During the action, the Eendracht was blown up and sunk with nearly all the crew, including the Admiral." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
