Ca. 48 x 34 cm. Cornelis Evertsen the Elder was born in Vlissingen in 1610. He was made a naval lieutenant at the age of seven following his father's death in battle, and he took part in a privateering raid in 1626, became a captain in 1636, captured a galleon at the 1639 Battle of the Downs, and was a Vice-Commodore by the start of the Anglo-Dutch Wars. He was wounded and captured at the 1653 Battle of Scheveningen, and he was promoted to Rear Admiral in 1654 and liberated Nyborg from the Swedish in 1659 during the Northern Wars. In 1661, he served under his close friend Michiel de Ruyter during his expedition against the Barbary pirates. During the Second Anglo-Dutch War, he became a lieutenand-admiral, fighting at the Battle of Lowestoft. He was cut in two by a cannonball during the Four Days Battle in 1666. He was a member of a Zealand seafarer's dynasty. - Fine. Muller, Portetten 1575.a: zeer fraaije gravure; See Roos, Het admiralengeslacht Evertsen.
