Sailing Vessels: A Fleet of Galleys Escorted by a Caravel

Pieter Bruegel

Cleveland Museum of Art

A fleet of old sailing ships on the water. A large ship with a tall mast and billowing sails is on the left side. It has two rows of oars on each side. A smaller ship with a triangular sail is on the right. There are several other ships of varying sizes behind them. The ships have flat bottoms and are low in the water. The sky is cloudy with sun rays coming through. The clouds are thick and fluffy. The image is in black and white.
