About the piece
Painted in 1892 by Alfred Guillou, this masterful work captures the raw power of the ocean and the profound tragedy of a shipwreck. A fisherman is depicted in a desperate embrace with a young child among the churning foam and debris, rendered with a luminous palette of sea-foam greens and deep blues.
