About the artwork

Bring the magic of Amsterdam's waters into your home with this breathtaking photo of Sail Amsterdam 2025. In the foreground shines the iconic river IJ, where three world-famous tall ships converge: the Nao Santa Maria from Spain, the elegant Le Français from France and the majestic Sagres from Portugal. This unique gathering is rare and oozes history, adventure and international connection.

Amsterdam has been a world city of shipping and exploration for centuries. During Sail Amsterdam - an event that takes place only once every five years - that maritime tradition is celebrated in all its glory. This photo captures not only the impressive backdrop of the tall ships, but also the vibrant atmosphere on the water, where sloops and spectators gather to witness this spectacle.

The ships themselves carry with them a rich past:

Nao Santa Maria (Spain): a faithful replica of Columbus' flagship, a symbol of exploration and adventure.

Le Français (France): a traditional barque that embodies the charm of classic French shipping.

Sagres (Portugal): a training ship of the Portuguese Navy, known for her graceful lines and proudly carried red and white sails.
