About the piece

Painted in 1876 by Hans Gude, this work is a premier example of Romantic nationalist marine painting. The composition highlights the brilliant interplay of sunlight through heavy clouds, reflecting off the ruffled waves as a majestic sailing ship and local fishermen navigate the coastal waters of Norway.
