About the piece
Painted in 1835 by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, a central figure of the Danish Golden Age, this oil on canvas depicts sailing vessels traversing the Baltic Sea. The work demonstrates Eckersberg's signature technical precision, from the complex rigging of the ships to the rhythmic, light-catching waves and the pale, monumental presence of the Danish coastline.
