A seascape battle painting by Ronny Moortgat.
Moorgat's skill in portraying contemporary and historic ships with such accuracy, whilst also imbuing their unique spirit in his paintings, is due to his lifelong passion for the sea and all that sail on her. This passion was born from growing up by the River Schelde close to Antwerp, Europe's second largest port, and watching the hustle and bustle of the shipping from a very young age.
