About the piece
Painted in 1848 by Danish artist Anton Melbye, this atmospheric seascape depicts a corvette navigating heavy swells in the aftermath of a storm. The work masterfully contrasts the deep, brooding tones of the sky with the luminous glow on the horizon and the translucent green of the breaking waves.
