About the piece
Created circa 1820 by Ary Scheffer, 'The Tempest' is a powerful expression of Romanticism, focusing on the sublime power of nature and the shared human experience of fear and hope. The composition expertly balances a crowded huddle of expressive figures against a vast, dark, and turbulent sky, with the white spray of crashing waves providing a sharp, dramatic contrast to the warm tones of the villagers' clothing.
