About the piece
This 1835 French painting captures the intense energy of a sea battle, likely during the Greek War of Independence. The composition is defined by the sharp diagonals of the billowing sails and the white crests of crashing waves, set against a brooding, atmospheric sky that emphasizes the peril and action of the scene.
