Description

Jacob van Heemskerck and Willem Barents in a study in late 1594 or early 1595 preparing for a second voyage they hope would take them to Asia by way of the Arctic Ocean. Van Heemskerck sits at a table and makes notes, while Barents points at a chart of Novaya Zemlya on the wall. The date on the study wall, 9 July 1594, refers to an episode from the first voyage when a polar bear was killed. The bear’s pelt hangs on the back wall beside the date.

The painting was commisioned by the Historical Gallery of Arti et Amicitiae, an Amsterdam artists’ society, as a part of a series of 102 paintings by differents artists immortalizing the greatest moments in Dutch history.
