In the winter of 1672-73, two celebrated Dutch artists arrived in London.
King Charles II offered them a studio space at the Queen's House in Greenwich. Here they worked, creating royal commissions, magnificent paintings and tapestries, as well as thousands of detailed sketches, drawings and designs.
Now, 350 years on from their first arrival in England, the Queen's House will once again become a home for the Van de Veldes.
The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea follows the journey of these émigré artists, and explores how they changed the course of British maritime art.
Set sail for Greenwich, and experience the art of the Van de Veldes.
