Note du spécialiste

Often set in winter, Jan Beerstraten's topographical landscapes depicted sea battles, southern ports and shorelines. Unlike his topographical landscapes, his ports are entirely imaginary, perhaps on account of the fact that he is not documented as ever having traveled to Italy.
