Allegory of the Dutch Victory over the Spanish Fleet at Gibraltar, 1607

A painted harbor scene shows figures in early seventeenth-century dress pulling on a rope in the foreground, while a crowd of onlookers watches on a rocky shore. Behind them, many sailing ships with tall masts and flags crowd a bay near a hill, under a cloudy sky.
