About the piece
Painted in 1847 by the renowned marine artist Carl Frederik Sørensen, this work depicts a shipwreck on the rugged west coast of Jutland. The composition is defined by the artist's masterful treatment of light, with the warm, saturated tones of the sunset reflecting off the surf and illuminating the heavy, textured clouds above the dark silhouette of the hull.
