Willem Schellinks, The burning of the English fleet at Chatham, June 1667, during the Second English Sea War (1665-1667), 1667 - 1678
Willem Schellinks (Amsterdam, Holland, Netherlands 1623-1678), was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and etcher of landscapes and sea scenes as well as a poet. Willem Schellinks was one of the most widely traveled Dutch artists of his time. He traveled along the Loire and the Seine in 1646, and between 1661 and 1665 he visited England, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, and Switzerland, keeping a record of his travels in several landscapes and scenic views, as well as a diary.
Schellinks used his earlier drawings of England as the basis for his paintings of the successful sea raid by the Dutch in 1667 on the English fleet at Chatham during the Second English War.
