Not too much is known about Storck's early life, but it is certain that painting was in his cradle: Both his father and his two brothers were active as painters. His father came from the town of Wesel in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia. It was in his workshop that the brothers learned their craft. Very likely they were all members of the local St. Luke's Guild, otherwise it would hardly have been possible for them to sell their works profitably. A few years after Abraham opened his own workshop, he traveled with his brother Jacob to Germany, where he settled for a while and continued his work.
In his depictions of the sea and rivers, Storck was significantly influenced by painters such as Willem van de Velde and Ludolf Bakhuizen. Storck's views of Mediterranean ports, showing the bustle of merchants against a backdrop of architectural ruins, found general appeal. The clear and strong colors he used resemble typical works of art created in Italy at the same time. This type of depiction was a precursor of the Italian capriccio style, which became popular in the 18th century. Storck drew the rigging of ships and other technical details with remarkable accuracy. His views of Dutch harbors and rivers, on the other hand, often include ships and boats serving ceremonial or recreational purposes. He paid particular attention here to magnificently designed boats, festive gatherings of several ships, the passengers, and any spectators. Occasionally Storck also painted wintry scenes. Only one self-portrait of him is known.
One of the most famous works of Abraham Storck is the depiction of the so-called "Battle of Four Days", a major naval battle of the Second Dutch-English War. This battle remains one of the longest naval battles in human history and ended in a resounding victory for the Dutch. Storck completed his epic painting the same year the battle took place. In the painting, Storck impressively captures the stormy weather conditions at sea as the battleships charge at each other with cannons firing from all guns. In the foreground of the painting, a ship is breaking apart and soldiers are sinking into the floodwaters while a lifeboat tries to rush to the rescue. In addition, Storck, as a proud Dutchman, attached particular importance to placing the Dutch flags flying from the masts prominently and prominently in the picture.
