. Inglese: un castello con una nave che naviga nelle vicinanze di questa pittura mostra una nave Olandese su acque calme. La nave è in movimento attraverso un canale, il traino di una imbarcazione. Il deck è piena di figure tutte rivolte verso la prua della nave. La nave è raffigurata in port-bow view, come se circa la vela passato lo spettatore, visualizzando la sua osserva minuziosamente la vita frenetica sul ponte.

. English: A Castle with a Ship Sailing Nearby This painting shows a Dutch ship on calm waters. The ship is moving through a channel, towing a boat. The deck is full of figures all facing the bow of the ship. The vessel is depicted in port-bow view, as if about to sail past the spectator, displaying its minutely observed busy life on deck. It is flying the Dutch flag from the mainmast and a red flag with a device in gold at the stern. The view stretches to the horizon, suffused by light shimmering through the thin layer of clouds. In the distance the scene is flanked on either side by mountainous shores, crowned by a large medieval castle on the right.

In his ‘Schilder-Boek’ van Mander, also, hailed Vroom for his attention to detail as well as his depiction of nature and scenery: 'Vroom is an excellent master in this respect, in that he has not only much understanding of ships, good rigging, ropes and tackle, pennants, sails and other things of that kind, but he is also excellent in all other incidentals such as pieces of ground, landscape, rocks, trees, skies, water, waves, castles, villages, towns, figures, fishes and other things which accompany and enrich his ships.' All these elements seem to be synchronized in this painting; the landscape adopts an idealized European setting, reminding the viewer of the sixteenth-century Flemish tradition and art of the Bruegel family. However, the lighting, here, is highly naturalistic and the conventi
