About the piece
Painted in 1678 by Jan Peeters the Elder, this dramatic work captures the raw power of the ocean. Light breaks through heavy, dark clouds to illuminate a ship struggling against the waves and figures watching from a high, ochre-hued cliff, creating a compelling narrative of survival and nature's force.
