The first seascapes or marines originated in the Netherlands in the 16th century. Especially in the 17th century, the navy rapidly developed into an independent genre with artists such as Andries van Eertvelt (1590-1652) from Antwerp and Willem van de Velde the Younger (1633-1707) from Leiden. Some painted testimonies of naval battles, voyages of discovery, ceremonies at sea or portraits of famous ships had a mainly documentary character. In addition, there are marines that were not literally painted according to reality, but bear witness to a wider artistic freedom and inspiration, usually with a hidden symbolism.
