介绍（中）	强风使几艘船在风暴掀起的涌浪上颠簸，这是北海的特点。在构图的右边，晴朗的天空预示着平静的海水。这位艺术家出色地捕捉到了暴风雨般的天空中不断变化的光线和灰色的海水。这幅海景被认为是Ludolf Backhuysen的作品，可以被认为是他浪漫、成熟风格的一个例子。Backhuysen晚期作品中一些不寻常的风格特征引起了人们对这幅画作者的质疑。例如，对于这位艺术家来说，在他对大海的渲染中使用钢笔和棕色墨水画的不足是不寻常的。谨慎地使用洗涤液，最明显的是在搅动的水中渲染，同样罕见 Backhuysen是17世纪晚期荷兰最著名的海洋画家之一，他的高画质受到收藏家的追捧。因此，追随者或车间助理希望通过制作类似的图像来从这种流行中受益，这并不奇怪根据艺术家传记作家Arnold Houbraken（1660–1719）的说法，Bakhuysen最早的绘图工作可以追溯到1650年。这位艺术家深受当时著名的海景画家威廉·范德维尔德父子（分别为1611-1693年和1633-1707年）的作品的影响。1672年左右，当范德维尔德一家移民到英国时，巴克森成为了这一流派中最重要的画家。
介绍（英）	Strong winds pitch several ships on the storm-tossed swells, so characteristic of the North Sea. To the right of the composition, clearer skies are a harbinger of calmer waters. The artist brilliantly captured the shifting light of a tempestuous sky and the coiling waters in gray wash. This seascape has been attributed to Ludolf Backhuysen, and could be recognized as an example of his romantic, mature style. Some stylistic features that are uncharacteristic for Backhuysen’s late work have caused questions to be raised about the drawing’s authorship. It is unusual for the artist, for example, to use an underdrawing in pen and brown ink in his renderings of the sea. The cautious application of washes, most noticeable in the rendering of tumultuous water, are equally uncommon. Backhuysen was one of the leading late-seventeenth-century marine painters in Holland, and his highly finished drawings were sought-after by collectors. It is therefore not remarkable that followers or workshop assistants hoped to benefit from this popularity by producing similar imagery. According to the artist-biographer Arnold Houbraken (1660–1719), Bakhuysen’ earliest endeavors as a draftsman date to 1650. The artist was strongly influenced by the works of father and son Willem van de Velde (1611–1693 and 1633–1707 respectively), the leading painters of seascapes at the time. When the Van de Velde’s immigrated to England around 1672, Bakhuysen became the foremost painter in this genre.
