About the piece
Painted in 1850 by Knud Bull, this evocative oil painting depicts the tragic wreck of the 'George the Third'. Bull masterfully balances the turbulent movement of the ocean waves against a heavy, atmospheric sky, while small figures on the shore offer a sense of human scale against the sublime forces of nature.
