About the piece

Created in 1909 by American marine specialist Frederick Judd Waugh, this oil on canvas captures the 'Roaring Main' with intense realism and movement. Waugh’s sophisticated technique translates the complex motion of sea foam, mist, and deep-water currents into a captivating study of nature's raw force, rendered in a palette of deep teals and brilliant whites.
