About the piece
Created around 1680, this oil painting by Wigerus Vitringa is a definitive example of Dutch maritime art. The composition captures the dynamic energy of a storm, featuring a ship struggling against towering whitecaps beneath a heavy, brooding sky. The use of light against the dark, rugged cliffs creates a sense of high drama and atmospheric depth characteristic of the period's masters.
