Allegory of the Revival of the Dutch Herring Fishery after the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-67)
attributed to Willem Eversdijck, c. 1667 - c. 1670
Allegory of the prosperity of the fishing industry, attributed to Willem Eversdijck, shortly after 1667. Michiel de Ruyter and other prominent admirals are hauling in a herring net and enjoying the fish. After the Republic's successes of the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667), the herring fishery was able to flourish again. Here the artist shows the importance of the protection of the Dutch navy for trade and fishing.
