Circle of Abraham Jansz Storck, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia arriving in Amsterdam
Oil on canvas
Note:
When the Tsar arrived in Amsterdam on 25 August the city celebrated with fireworks, festivities and a maritime display in the form of a mock battle, which he attended on 1 September. A contemporary account states that he was so delighted with the whole performance that at his request it was repeated several weeks later. Peter appeared in full regalia as the Tsar of Muscovy to watch the 41 ships that took part.
