About the piece
Painted in 1809 by Dutch artist Martinus Schouman, this oil on panel depicts the churning waters of the coast as a storm front moves in. The composition masterfully uses light and shadow, with the white sails of the foreground vessels brilliantly illuminated against the bruised, dark clouds of the approaching tempest.
