About the piece

Painted in 1846 by Knud Baade, this dramatic work exemplifies the Norwegian Romantic Nationalist movement. The composition contrasts the churning, dark waves and a tattered ship with the ethereal, light-struck peaks of the distant coastline, creating a sense of both peril and sublime beauty.
