The Gallery recently acquired a large work by the major Dutch painter of seascapes Simon de Vlieger(ca. 1601–1653), titled Fisherfolk and Other Figures on a Beach (1642). It depicts a view from the beach toward the sea under an atmospheric sky freighted with towering clouds. But what else might the picture offer, beyond its melting beauty and convincing illusion of deep space?
