Description: Depiction of the Battle of Öland in 1676, between the combined Danish-Dutch fleet, commanded by Cornelis Tromp, and the Swedish fleet commanded by Lorentz Creutz. The battle was a major failure for the Swedes since they lost two of their largest ships, Kronan (foundered by accident) and Svärdet (sunk by a Dutch fireship) with a loss of close to 1,200 men.
