About the piece

Painted in 1905 by Henry Brokmann, this atmospheric oil study captures the raw energy of a 'mer démontée' (stormy sea) from the unique vantage point of the boat's stern. The sophisticated palette of sea-foam white, muted teals, and stormy greys creates a compelling marine scene that feels both historic and surprisingly contemporary.
