The Battle of Terheide, 1653-1666

Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraten, 1622-1666

Oil on canvas

Between 1652 and 1674 three naval wars were fought with England -
the so-called Anglo-Dutch Wars. This painting represents the
Battle of Terheide on 10 August 1653. In the centre is the largest
vessel in the Dutch fleet - the Brederode - commanded by Admiral
Maerten Harpertsz Tromp. It is firing its cannons at an English ship.
The Dutch Republic won the battle but its commander, Tromp, was fatally
wounded.
