Michiel de Ruyter Goblet (detail)

Nicolaes Loockemans 1667

Rijksmuseum

gold and enamel

The continuous scene represents the major episodes in the Dutch attack on the English navel base at Chatham.
Two days after the fort at Sheerness had been captured on 20 June 1667, Dutch forces sailed up the River Medway and destroyed the English fleet.
The States of Holland rewarded Admiral Michiel de Ruyter with this lavish goblet.
The lid bears the arms of Holland.
