About the piece
Painted in 1839 by Eugène Le Poittevin, this dramatic work captures the harrowing experience of shipwrecked sailors on a raft. The composition is filled with movement, from the churning white sea to the desperate expressions of the men as they navigate between jagged icebergs and a group of curious, menacing polar bears. It is a quintessential example of Romantic-era maritime drama.
