About the piece
Created around 1810 by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, this tempera painting on cardboard is a quintessential example of Romantic maritime art. The composition masterfully balances the terrifying power of the crashing white waves against the stoic presence of a coastal lighthouse and ancient fortifications. Bison’s fluid brushwork and high-contrast palette bring a cinematic energy to this scene of nature's overwhelming force.
