Le navire de la fortune — Histoire et analyse

Dans son livre Der Zee-Vaert Lof (À la louange de la navigation), Elias Herckmans soutient que le commerce maritime néerlandais prospère le mieux en temps de paix. Dans le chapitre trois, il discute de la Pax Romana (Paix romaine). Rembrandt a réalisé une illustration pour ce livre, dans laquelle il résume tout le chapitre.

La figure féminine nue sur le navire est Fortuna, la prospérité, qui favorise le commerce maritime lorsque la paix règne.
