About the piece

Painted in 1838 by Knud Baade, this masterful oil on canvas captures the rugged beauty of the Norwegian coast. The composition juxtaposes the precariousness of a small sailboat against the eternal strength of the Island of Træna, illuminated by a brilliant, atmospheric sunset that breaks through heavy clouds.
