From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dutch Yachting on the Zuider Zee is an 1848 oil painting by the British artist Edward William Cooke.[1] A seascape, it depicts a scene off the coast of the Netherlands. In the foreground is a Dutch coastal merchant vessel known as a "boeier" with a yacht just behind it. In the distance is ship of the line of the Royal Netherlands Navy.[2] A protégé of Clarkson Stanfield, the artist specialised in maritime paintings with Dutch themes. This led to him being nicknamed "Dutch Cooke" or "Van Kook".[3]
