About the piece
Created in 1846 by the Danish marine artist Anton Melbye, this oil on canvas captures the Eddystone Lighthouse amidst a violent gale. The composition is defined by its sophisticated chiaroscuro, as light breaks through heavy, churning clouds to highlight the white sea spray and the vertical strength of the tower against the horizon.
