About the piece
Created in 1905 by Albert Rieger, this dramatic oil on canvas depicts a steamship tossing amidst the churning green waters of the North Sea. The artist masterfully captures the interplay of light and shadow, with golden rays breaking through heavy storm clouds to illuminate the spray of the crashing waves.
