About the piece

Painted in 1791 by the Danish artist Jens Juel, this oil on panel captures the raw power of nature. A massive, rain-laden storm cloud dominates the sea, creating a stark contrast against the warm, golden light breaking through the horizon. The work exemplifies the late 18th-century interest in the sublime and atmospheric weather conditions.
