About the piece
Painted in 1775 by Hendrik Kobell, this powerful oil on canvas depicts the harrowing scene of a shipwreck. The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to contrast the white crests of the waves against the dark, churning sky, creating a sense of profound movement and drama characteristic of Dutch marine tradition.
