About the piece

Painted in 1913 by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem van Blaaderen, this vibrant seascape captures the raw energy of the North Sea. Using the thick, confident brushstrokes characteristic of his later period, Blaaderen employs a rich palette of blues and teals to convey the luminous quality of light reflecting off the moving water and the spray of the surf.
