In 1592, when Lord Howard of Effingham, who had served as Lord High Admiral at the time of the Spanish Armada, commissioned the Dutch naval artist and first seascape painter, Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom (1566-1640) to create a series of tapestries to commemorate the British victory. The original tapestries were woven in Brussels by Francis Spieringx.
