The surrender of the Royal Prince, 3-13 June 1666, c.1666 (graphite, grey wash)
7342054 The surrender of the Royal Prince, 3-13 June 1666, c.1666 (graphite, grey wash) by Velde, Willem van de, the Younger (1633-1707); 21x43.2 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Willem van de Velde, the Younger
A sketch done for Rijksmuseum painting 2470 or for the VdeVI penschilderij done for Leopold de Medici in 1672. Much altered by a later hand.
This is a drawing not made on the spot. Instead it is one of many sketches done for a painting by the Younger, of which there is an oil-on-canvas version in the Rijksmuseum (inventory no. SK-A-438). Alternatively it may be a sketch for the large grisaille work the Elder produced for Cardinal Leopold in 1672. The drawing has been worked over by a later hand, probably by Charles Gore.
Here, van de Velde has depicted a port quarter view of the Royal Prince ashore on the Galloper, hauling down her flag. On her port bow is Tromp, with his flag flying in Sweers ship, the Gouda'. Under her stern is van de Velde's galjoot. There are a number of other Dutch ships visible beyond. The jack and vanes of the Royal Prince are incorrect additions by Charles Gore.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning graphite and grey wash print captures the dramatic moment of The surrender of the 'Royal Prince' in June 1666, a pivotal event in naval history. Created by Willem van de Velde, the Younger, this sketch was likely done as a study for a larger painting commissioned by either the Rijksmuseum or Cardinal Leopold de Medici.
The scene depicts the 'Royal Prince' being forced to surrender, with her flag being hauled down as Dutch ships surround her. Tromp's ship, the 'Gouda', is seen on her port bow with other Dutch vessels in the background. Van de Velde's attention to detail and skillful rendering of maritime elements bring this historical moment to life.
Although unsigned, this drawing has been attributed to van de Velde and later altered by Charles Gore. Despite these alterations, the essence of van de Velde's original composition shines through, showcasing his mastery of capturing naval battles and seascapes.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this print serves as a reminder of both van de Velde's artistic talent and the significant events that shaped naval warfare during this period. It is a testament to his ability to immortalize historical moments on paper for generations to come.
