About the piece
Painted in 1690 by Ludolf Bakhuizen, this masterwork captures the majesty and peril of the sea. The composition pits fragile human vessels against the overwhelming force of a dark, churning ocean and rugged mountainous coast, illuminated by a dramatic break in the storm clouds. As a leading marine painter of the Dutch Golden Age, Bakhuizen's technical skill is evident in the luminous treatment of the spray and the sophisticated use of light and shadow.
