About the piece

Painted around 1900 by Australian artist John Peter Russell, this work captures the tumultuous waters of Morestil with expressive, energetic brushwork. Russell, a close associate of Monet and Van Gogh, utilizes a cool palette of blues and whites to convey the dynamic power and shifting light of the coastal landscape, characteristic of his late period on Belle-Île.
