Petrus Jan Schotel, a prominent Dutch marine painter of the 19th century, is celebrated for his evocative and meticulously detailed seascapes. One of his notable works, "On Choppy Waters," exemplifies his mastery in capturing the dynamic and often tumultuous nature of the sea. Schotel, born in 1808 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, was deeply influenced by the maritime culture of his homeland, which is reflected in his extensive body of work. His paintings are renowned for their realistic portrayal of ships, the interplay of light on water, and the atmospheric conditions that define the seafaring experience.

"On Choppy Waters" is a quintessential example of Schotel's ability to convey the movement and mood of the sea. The painting depicts a scene of ships navigating through rough waters, with waves crashing against their hulls and the sky overhead filled with ominous clouds. Schotel's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the ships' rigging and the turbulent sea, which adds a sense of drama and urgency to the composition. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the realism, creating a vivid impression of the natural elements at play.

Schotel's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Johannes Christiaan Schotel, his father, who was also a distinguished marine painter. However, Petrus Jan Schotel developed his own distinctive style, characterized by a more dynamic and expressive approach to depicting the sea. "On Choppy Waters" is a testament to his skill and his deep understanding of maritime subjects, making it a significant piece in the canon of Dutch marine art.

The painting not only showcases Schotel's technical prowess but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the maritime activities and ship designs of the 19th century. Today, "On Choppy Waters" continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its contribution to the rich tradition of marine painting in the Netherlands.
