La nave della fortuna — Storia e analisi

Nel suo libro Der Zee-Vaert Lof (In Praise of Navigation), Elias Herckmans sostiene che il commercio marittimo olandese fiorisce meglio in tempi di pace. Nel capitolo tre, discute della Pax Romana (Pace Romana). Rembrandt realizzò un'illustrazione per questo, in cui riassume l'intero capitolo.

La figura femminile nuda sulla nave è Fortuna, la prosperità, che favorisce il commercio marittimo quando regna la pace.
