About the piece

Painted in 1889 by the celebrated Mexican landscape master José María Velasco, this oil study focuses on the elemental interplay between wind and water. The composition is anchored by a sharp horizon line, beautifully contrasting the deep, textured blues of the churning sea with an expansive sky of billowing, sun-drenched clouds.
