About the piece
Painted in 1870 by Danish artist Carl Frederik Sørensen, this work exemplifies the 19th-century fascination with the untamed sea. The composition expertly balances the solid permanence of the rocky Norwegian cliffs against the dynamic movement of the waves and a detailed vessel, all unified by a sophisticated and luminous treatment of light.
