Port of Stockholm, Bonaventura Peeters (1636)
Bonaventura Peeters, one of the most important Flemish marine painters, shows in the painting "Port of Stockholm" a rare, topographically correct and accurately dated view of Stockholm in the 17th century. The occasion of this painting is the salute of a larger ship in front of the harbor. Whether Peeters was ever there is not known, nor are contemporary engravings or drawings of the city from the same angle.
