About the piece
Painted around 1810 by Aleksander Lauréus, this evocative oil painting captures the rugged life of coastal fishermen. The composition is defined by a brilliant campfire that casts a warm, flickering light over the figures and their vessel, creating a powerful contrast with the mysterious, dark landscape and night sky typical of early 19th-century European genre painting.
