About the piece
Created in 1881, this work by Édouard Manet depicts the escape of political activist Henri Rochefort. The painting is a masterclass in Impressionist technique, using a palette of cool greens and moody greys to render the shimmering, turbulent surface of the ocean. The small vessel is isolated against the scale of the sea, creating a sense of quiet drama and atmospheric depth.
