Experience a stark slice of Arctic maritime history with this dramatic depiction of Smeerenburg’s whale-oil refinery—smoke rising from shore-side tryworks as crews boil blubber beneath a jagged northern peak. This museum-quality reproduction faithfully renders Cornelis de Man’s 1639 oil on canvas, capturing the flensed whale carcass, the steaming cooking ovens at the water’s edge, distant whaling masts, and the men’s barracks. Printed with archival giclée inks on fine art paper or available on stretched canvas, it makes a striking centerpiece for living rooms, offices, or study spaces and sparks conversation about 17th-century seafaring and industry.
