About the piece
Created in 1904 by Charles Cottet, this evocative oil painting masterfully depicts 'Temps d'orage sur la mer' (Stormy Weather at Sea). The composition uses a dark, brooding palette to emphasize the luminous white crests of the waves as they surge against the rugged coastline. The dramatic contrast between the heavy clouds and the churning water creates a powerful sense of atmospheric tension, characteristic of Cottet's interest in the rugged coast of Brittany.
