The Surrender of the Royal Prince
In June 1666, the Dutch and English fleets fought a ferocious battle on the southern North Sea. With an eye for detail and a sense of drama, Willem van de Velde portrayed the moment when the English flagship Royal Prince (at left) ran aground on a sandbank and was taken by the Dutch. To signal their surrender, the English crew hauled down their flags.
